I've Been Thinking:

On Saturday Iran launched an inquiry.

The Iranians are investigating how Israeli oranges were imported into Iran despite a law that clearly forbids promoting Israeli products.

The Israeli oranges are very tasty and seem to be in big demand.
And they entered Iran in crates marked in Chinese.
The crates seem to have arrived from Dubai.
Officials are saying that the oranges must have come in through unofficial channels.

The reality of today's markets is that things are often repackaged to make them look one way rather than another.

And in the case of many items from Israel the original packaging leaves off the words "product of Israel."

My guess is that is probably what happened here.

Another example of how Iran is trying to shut out Israel.
