There is no governance between states.

International law (also known as public international law and the law of nations) is the set of guidelines, norms, and standards usually forming the default behavior between states. Inter means between thus outside of territories thus absent of sovereignty, thus isn't a law at all (See: Westphalian System) and is rather a common-practice between states - unless they wish otherwise due to their own reasoning.

This isn't an action between states. A US based company bought oil from Iran (hence why it's Iranian oil, they're referencing origin, not ownership) to sell to China. That us based company was found to be in violation of US sanctions against Iran. They capitulated because they still wish to do business in the US.
