Both the sanction list as well as the security mechanisms to "enforce" them are as tigth as a wire mesh fence. Not worth to enoble these "sanctions" by paying any attention to them - as if they would mean something. It even is legal to deliver most weapons and military equipement to Iran - that alone already tells me everything I need to know about the determination behind sanctions.

Now consider criminal energy of wetsern companies in smuggling forbidden items and undermining the "sanctions", consider the fact that all Golf states run not only formal but also private small trade navel traffic with Iran, consider that Russia first supported the sanction, and then one day later already started to soften them up in terminology and in general is interested in not putting it'S business ties with Iran on military goods and nuclear technology at risk, consider that erdoghan's turkey has become an open supporter of Iran and it'S ambitions, and consider the nature of the terrain of their shared border (I know that a bit myself). When you have considered it all, get a drink and start laughing.
