The United States may apply the "Iranian" model of sanctions when oil consumers risk falling under secondary sanctions. However, such a decision carries serious risks, such powerful states as India and China are the largest buyers of crude oil from Russia, which may negatively affect US relations with these countries, according to Bloomberg. Such restrictions may also cause a rapid increase in the cost of oil in the near future, which will lead to increased economic tensions around the world.
