American Generals and Admirals have warned about conflict with Comunist China for as long as I can remember. Research Quemoy and Matsu. Major commands have war plans sitting on the shelves for just such an occurrence.
So how do you suggest stopping oil shipments from Iran to China when even Trump didn't do as you suggest? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/15/trump-administration-leaves-the-door-open-to-letting-iran-export-oil.html

Trump administration still might let Iran export oil, and that could lower prices
The State Department's envoy to Iran is declining to say whether Washington will force oil buyers to cut off purchases of Iranian crude later this year.

China has 3 functional aircraft carriers now. I know they are escort Carrier sized, but they have nuclear weapons and anti ship missiles that could stop our Pacific fleet cold.

China’s giant Fujian aircraft carrier on track for ‘2025 PLA handover’
Covers have been taken off all three electromagnetic catapults on the deck of the Fujian, social media photos show, indicating readiness for sea trials and systems testing, and PLA handover as scheduled.

Yes, Iran is sending Oil shipments to Communist China but then so is Biden and without even approval by the US Congress on US Oil tankers. You don't see that in the news but even a close friend of mine that is a Captain on a US Oil tanker know that is true because He has had to make those trips and once in Chinese controlled water had to fly the Communist Chinese Flag on the United States owned oil tanker. Congress had even stated prior that was not to be done and Biden is doing it anyway without even consulting them ! Looks like His own self interest and greed could be a motive or perhaps outright treason ? I tend to think money is the issue and the news blackout on this is also very disturbing.

LTC Stephen Conway Read some reports, functional is a far cry from operational and they're having a hard time even becoming functional.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter Throughout this train people fail to acknowledge that while we may not approve of Chinese policies, officially China is a trade partner with the United States. So yes, money is the issue.
