In the billboard, Israeli soldiers appeared next to a quote from a Persian poem
The head of the Iranian city council of Shiraz has ordered an investigation after Israeli soldiers have appeared on a billboard marking the Iran-Iraq war.
The billboard used a photoshopping photo showing the backs of three male soldiers standing on a rocky outcrop.
After settling in a central square in Shiraz this week, people noticed that the men were wearing Israeli uniforms and carrying M16 rifles.
It also appeared that a female soldier had been cut off from the original photo.
Since the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, the country's leaders have called for the elimination of Israel. They reject Israel's right to exist, viewing it as an illegitimate occupier of Muslim land.

Images of the controversial billboard commemorating the 1980-1988 war between Iran and Iraq appeared online Wednesday.
A Twitter user, @mhrezaa, wrote"I felt burned when I saw this sign in the middle of Holy Week of Defense."
"M16 rifles, straps, clothes, a hat on the shoulders, all this belongs to the Zionists, and at best I can say you did something stupid."
The Persian Twitter account of the Israeli Foreign Ministry also mocked the billboard and noted that the Iranians had published footage showing that he had been arrested overnight.
On Thursday morning, city council chief Seyyed Ahmad Dastgheyb ordered cultural leaders to conduct an urgent investigation, local media reported.
While it was confirmed that an image of the soldiers of the "Zionist regime usurper" had been used, he said, it would be "necessary to deal seriously with those responsible".
