Iran's Oil Ministry had reportedly installed giant billboards across the capital to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the country's oil industry.

But reports say that some of the billboards, which depicted a huge Ahmadinejad standing in front of what appears to be an oil refinery, were removed by Tehran's municipality.

The Oil Ministry has said that the removal of the billboards is a "political decision" by the municipality.

First the billboards, then the man.
