Today, in a symbolic act, Iranians set fire to the flags of Israel and the United States, as well as an obelisk and a statue of Baal—which they described as a symbol of Satan—in various cities across Iran in response to the release of the Epstein documents.
Say what you want, but their effigy-burning commitment is absolutely top notch.
They build a fucking statue that any Baal-worshiper would be thrilled to have in their home and then burn it.
That statue is awesome. Blows Banksy’s picture-shredder out of the water.
I’m just wondering if they contracted the statue out to some artist without sharing their plans.
“You did what with it? Dude, that took me fifteen fucking months. MY WIFE LEFT ME!!!”
Burning a statue of Baal is metal as fuck. Set flame to the dying and rising god Baal, let his ashes bring strong harvests and renewal 🤘
I really wish he and his wife could have made it through the ordeal. They held a lot of promise.

I think the first part is a safe assumption, but I can I can’t imagine any reason for secrecy. It may have been state or community or corporate funding.
At least it wasn’t AI
It’s a pretty random bunch of things to burn though. My guess is they had this stuff lying around for a while and they needed to make room for something else
If I learned anything from Burning Man it’s that, in order to burn something in effigy, you first need to construct a combustible effigy.
… Now I wanna know why there was a statue of Baal on the street in iran. Like, is there a Baal worshipping segment of the population? Was it some ancient statue? An art piece? Ragebait? I have so many questions.
They built the statues specifically to burn them down for this symbolic act, they are not stone statues. I answered this to our other friend who asked as well🙏🏻
Oh that explains it, thank you! I wonder why Baal was singled out instead of just building a statue of satan himself? There’s a cultural aspect here I’m missing.
Blood Angels are stored in the Baals.

Cringe as fuck. “Satan” exist in a real manifestation in the form Capitalist Governments. You don’t need throw religion into it.
maybe they run out of banks and governments with Israeli and usa flags to burn instead lol
