It's the way they dispose of grease, I believe. I think there are less regulations in the US than elsewhere. That or the minimum wage workers just don't give a shit.
This presumes the USA needed to take any action at all.

Recent events and events over the past few years indicated that the Iranian people were likely on the path of regime change anyways.
