Pressure Point: US wants China to choke Iranian oil flow
America is piling the pressure on Iran over its nuclear programme and new uranium enrichment facility by seeking global support for its anti-Tehran sanctions.

Investment manager Francis Lun believes the US should stop pressuring other countries to do their will.
