In the USA house draft resolution number 362 is tabled.
So far, it has attracted the co-sponsorship of nearly half of the 430-member House of Representatives.
The draft resolution calls on the President to stop all shipments of refined petroleum products from reaching Iran. It also "demands" that the President impose "stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran".
