11 countries exempt from Iran Sanctions

The headline is misleading. It lets them run out their existing contracts.
 
So you really think we'd have gotten countries to sign on to sanctions if we also said "By the way, you're going to need to go without oil for several months"? Use your brain.

Germany, the UK, France, Japan, et al. aren't going to shut down their economies to get the sanctions up and running a few weeks sooner.
 
There will always be countries who buy Persian oil. The only significant thing that is occurring is that Western nations are tapping non-Persian oil and other nations will move into the void. They may even be getting a discounted price.

Embargo's historically are failures, just look at North Korea.
