I guess the Iranians don't like capitalism.....

Or perhaps just the United States of America? Sounds like a great country to strike a nuclear deal with, no?

But by Tuesday, Iranian police had shut it down. A sign posted on its door read it was "closed until further notice." The reason given: Its decor too closely resembles the U.S. flag, and its presence "can be seen as a part of American influence into Iranian culture," the agency says. "The U.S. is one of Iran's major enemies and this will have grave dangers for the country."
