SPOILER ALERT: That wasn't really Pete Trask, but a lousy commie double. Pete comes to Iran, sorts out the red nogoodnik, and convinces Mir Reza of his bona fides. Mir Reza signs the oil treaty "then and there." And the United States and Iran were friends forever...

A very slightly alternate universe was present in T-Man #31 (1956). No pigs were harmed in the production of this post.
