Iran is highly dependant on Europe. It does not matter what Russia and China do in the UN. If the Europeans decide to pull the plug on Iran, the economy of Iran will suffer greatly. 40% of Iran's trade is with EU. In short the EU can do without Iran, but Iran cannot do without EU. So if the EU-3 decide to place an economic embargo, or penalise firms doing business with Iran, it can cause a lot problems for Ahmadinejad.
