The Municipality has cleared the monument in a central square off of the controversial symbol.

After rows of protests, Tehran Municipality finally decided to demolish the controversial Magen David patterns off the Enqelab-e Eslami (The Islamic Revolution) Square.

The initial monument, depicting the Revolution Leader Ayatollah Khomeini and the process of the 1979 revolution.
