Iranians attack! Target: Michelle Obama’s Oscars gown

Obama wore the shiny Naeem Khan number at the White House to announce the Best Picture winner— “Argo,” the thriller based on a CIA operation to rescue Americans in post-revolution Iran.
It was apparently too much for Iran's semiofficial Fars News Agency, which modified Obama’s gown for its online report.
