You may imagine his surprise. Who would have thought to find Iran in such a place; in tasteful suburban Bethesda, Md., no less; dressed up as a postman, of all things; with a gun in its hand to boot?

Oil Minister Ali Akbar Moinfar announced that Iran would immediately cut off oil shipments "to any country that joins the U.S. economic boycott against Iran."
