I hope the Iranians like Sharper Image and Orange Julius

Because the U.S. has opened the world's biggest embassy and shopping mall for them to inherit within ten years.

The United States opened its new embassy building in Baghdad on Monday, a step meant to symbolize its transition from occupying power to an ally of a sovereign Iraqi government.

U.S. Marines raised the flag over the largest U.S. Embassy in the world during a ceremony in the courtyard of the large complex that will have working space for more than 1,000 people.

The embassy sits on a 104-acre site in the heavily fortified Green Zone and cost more than $700 million to build.
