It was recently discovered that Iran Air’s headquarters has the Star of David on top of its building and, as you might imagine, Iran is outraged to make this discovery.  You can see it HERE in this story.  Prior to the revolution in Iran in 1978, it was quite common for Israeli engineers to work in Iran. 

Israel even had a direct flight from Iran to Israel.  Engineers were hired to design and manage the construction of a great many public works buildings and they often performed other services.  Those whacky Israelis also had the habit of sticking the Star of David into difficult to spot places.  My father has a Iranian banknote from the 1970s that was printed by the Israelis.  The engraving for the background contains the Star of David.

You can also find this feature on top of a public building in a main square in Tehran that was also built by Israelis using Google Earth.
