(...)
"We are not considering banning imports," a Foreign Ministry official said, indicating the Japanese government is cautious of stepping up pressure on Iran in any coordinated action in the immediate future.

Following Ankara and Seoul tries to continue importing Iran oil despite U.S. and EU pressures; Rome has resisted any immediate embargo on Iran oil, calling it as the oil supply shock.
(...)
In an interview with French daily Le Figaro, Mr Monti highlighted the significance of any ban on the Italian economy, noting that 13 percent of Italy’s total annual imports of crude come from Iran, leaving it highly exposed to any oil supply shock.
Mr Monti added: “An oil embargo will only be possible if it remains gradual and if there is an exclusion of deliveries that are aimed at reimbursing billions of euros of debt which Iran owes to our national oil company Eni.”

If the US insists on going to war with Iran then we'll find our only ally will be Israel. China and Russia won't back it and they might even join Iran.

Or was that the "WWIII "plan all along?

If some countries stop importing Oil from Iran, Iran will seek new customers or sell more amount of Oil to existing customers.
It will offer the remaining Oil to these customers at reduced prices to get the Oil sold.

The only sanctions which are binding are those of the UN.

Oil is either bought on open-market or bought through bilateral contracts.
You can not exit such bilateral contracts if the contract has not expired. There are commitments, and these contracts are legal documents.

If the USA wants to sanction international companies the USA should remember, that most of the companies who do business with Iran's ressource-sector are State companies.
In effect the USA would sanction (block them from doing business in USA) other states.

It's like countryX telling an US company to stop doing business in Canada or risk being blacklisted in countryX.
World doesn't function this way.

Completely false. US sanctions on Iran are entirely lawful given Iran is a rogue state and state sponsor of terrorism.

The US blockaded Germany and Japan in WW II and has had a 50 year trade embargo on Cuba and a 30 year embargo on syria

Italy isn't banning Iranian imports because ENI has concessions there. Japan isn't banning Iranian imports because it needs every drop it can get.
