I'd say $10 trillion would be a nice fine. Let's see how quickly Congress acts..oh wait they are NOT doing anything.
The sanctions are for "refined petroleum" not crude oil, which oddly, Iran seems to have a fair amount of, but what it lacks is refining capacity.
Seems a rather strange article, I'd have to read more.
Correction, the article states, "several million dollars worth of crude AND refined products". Again, still seems a bit odd Iran would be importing crude.

More like a "DUH!" moment when you come to grips with the fact that Bush spent damn near 5,000 lives overthrowing a secular/Sunni government to install one that is dominated by Shiite parties with well know histories and loyalties to Iran!
