The headline reads "U.S., other nations rebuke Iran over seals." My immediate thought was a memory of the fuss over the Canadians who used to kill baby seals with clubs, and to wonder where in Iran there could possibly be seals. oops.

my first thought was a wax seal on a letter... somehow I doubt that's what they weretalking about though

It's not this kind of seal either, probably

I can't find an informative image of the real thing, only photos of guys standing around barrels labelled "radioactive," but I've decided to imagine the seals as duct tape with the IAEA logo printed on it. Symbolic, but not hard to remove.
