Not if they can get new customers, which is not that hard to find.
I see what you did there.... you must be proud.... sod!
LOL. I missed that until you picked it up. 'Due to political sanctions the Persian Gulf has been renamed the Arabian Gulf'.
Who are it's new costumers then? India/ China?
Actually there is not much influence from EU embargos or Iran cuts on a physical flow of oil. The same oil will be delivered at the same time in the same countries and in the same quantity. Only now there would be not direct deliveries, but reexport ones. There will be intermediaries who will formally buy the Iranian oil in a direction of the non-European states and then will deliver it to Europe from them.
Nevertheless, final users - Europeans - will buy the Iranian oil more expensively for the percent, that will go to intermediaries. That's it.

Iran's recent decision to halt oil exports to Britain and France "makes one smile,' as it is the European Union that decided to impose an oil embargo on Iran and not the other way around, France's foreign minister said Monday.
Alain Juppe added that the Islamic Republic is "very imaginative" in provoking other nations, referring to Tehran's threats to cut oil supply to hostile European countries.
Speaking at a press conference in Rome, Juppe noted that Iranian oil previously exported by France had very little significance given the country's needs. Earlier Monday, French officials said that Iran's decision to cut oil supply was meaningless as Paris curbed its oil exports from Iran last year already.
The French Foreign Ministry also issued a statement, noting that French oil companies already put an end to purchases from Iran on their own initiative.
Arabs insist its the Arab Gulf tho

Good news for the sanctions. China, India, Japan, SK are all reducing significantly their consumption of Iranian oil. All the other Iranian clients, like Turkey, should follow the path to escape US punishment, as explained by the report:
The United States says it will punish financial institutions that deal with Iran's central bank, the main clearing house for oil revenues, by shutting them out of U.S. markets. A country can earn a waiver from the sanctions if it significantly reduces trade with Iran.
"Many countries have approached us to discuss their efforts to reduce purchases of Iranian crude which, by statute, could except them from sanctions," a senior official in President Barack Obama's administration said.
