The Middle East has already established itself as a conduit for sanctioned goods to Russia and now China.
If every other country feels that they want to be such a conduit and suffer the consequences, then that's on them. But realistically US allies are unlikely to do that so the EU, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Japan, South Korea and Canada may end up being the only countries that can buy high end US technology.
Personally, I'm totally fine with that. I think trade in critical good and services, especially those with obvious military and mass oppression uses should be allies only by default.
