Iran International – Feb 12, 2026
During state-organized rallies marking Iran’s 1979 revolution anniversary, demonstrators in several cities burned large statues of a horned, bull-headed figure identified by organizers as “Baal,” an ancient deity referenced in biblical and Islamic tradition.
The burnings, some reported to have taken place at the same time in different cities, were presented by organizers as a symbolic protest linked to renewed online conspiracy theories surrounding the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and alleged child abuse by Western elites.
Iranian news agency Mehr said the effigy represented “the idol of Baal,” described in religious texts as a false god associated with deviation from monotheism.
Participants, chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” were quoted as saying the act symbolized resistance to what they described as corrupt Western systems and Zionist ideology.

Images circulated by Iranian and foreign media showed a giant statue with a bull’s head engulfed in flames in Tehran’s Azadi Square. Some versions included additional imagery such as the number “666” and references to US President Donald Trump.
Hardline outlets and channels said the burning was a symbolic reference to documents recently released by the US Justice Department related to Epstein, who was charged in 2019 with running a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls. Epstein died in jail later that year.
Online speculation in recent weeks has revived unverified allegations linking Epstein to ancient deities such as Baal or Moloch, figures that in some traditions are associated with child sacrifice.
Fact-checkers and mainstream media have previously reported that many such claims stem from misinterpretations of financial documents or from longstanding internet conspiracy theories, including allegations about a “temple” on Epstein’s private island that US media said was designed as a music pavilion.
Baal, a title meaning “lord” in ancient Semitic languages, was worshipped by Canaanite peoples in the ancient Near East and is portrayed in Jewish, Christian and Islamic texts as a false deity. Some scholars say there is limited archaeological evidence of child sacrifice practices in parts of the ancient Levant, though interpretations remain debated.
Iranian organizers described the statue burning as a “symbolic protest” aimed at drawing attention to alleged moral corruption in the West.
One conservative outlet linked the initiative to the Masaf Institute, a group associated with propagandist Ali Akbar Raefipour, which has promoted anti-Western and anti-Zionist narratives.
The coordinated burnings formed part of broader anniversary events that included anti-US and anti-Israel slogans, flag burnings and displays criticizing Western governments.
While state media framed the act as a message from Tehran to the world, some Iranian clerics expressed concern about the symbolism, and online users debated whether the act itself risked unintended religious connotations.
What a bullshit article by Mossad funded and operated Iran-International. The BAAL is a real Djinn they worship, he is the right hand of Iblis (ابلیس) better known as Satan (ستون related to stone and obelisk)!
There are other Djinns including “Lady in Red” (Scarlet Woman). They believe in these Djinns as Gods or Angels, simply because they have certain powers. Quran is clear on the matter that many indeed worship them. They of course require all the evil things from them including molesting, killing and eating children.
The idols are built as places of worship and these Djinns use these idols as a place to offer services in exchange for deeds and for recruitment. The highest level influential people are chosen only if their seeds and “Genes” are corrupted by the evil Djinns. Only one “consecrated to Baal” is groomed and allowed to take a position of power. Some argue that the name Isabel is actually just that!
And they have been corrupting the Ka’ba under Saudis. Saudis have allowed a Zionist Jew to design the Ka’ba environment to look like the serpent constellation, then they built that huge ugly middle earth Lord of The Ring tower to cast its shadow on the cube, they are also unable to keep the holy place in the state of ceremonial purity! There have been reports that the deadly crane crash and that famous stampede was all artificially caused to shed blood in this holy place. Some say Zionist Jews with the help of Saudi Crypto Jews spread disease to poison Muslims around the Ka’ba so they can easily go back to their countries and spread the disease further. The famous ZamZam well was poisoned and corrupted, a team of divers cleaned it up and found a lot of foul trash and some weird occult stuff in the well. And then recently revealed in Epstein files was this UAE Emarati woman who had sold a piece of the sacred cloth that covers the Ka’ba. The cloth is changed every year and cut into pieces and given to Muslims as a spiritual souvenir… Epstein got a good section and used as carpet in his island and God knows used it for what else. As part of the Haj pilgrimage, pilgrims used to throw stone pebbles at the Obelisk which is the symbol of Satan, this is called رمي الجمرات, but Saudis came up with stupid excuses that this practice is dangerous and so they built a wall around the obelisk essentially shielding it! Assuming they were right, they could at least paint the picture of an obelisk on the wall, but no they love that Obelisk just like how it is respected in US and European cities.
As Khamenei said, this time the war will be regional! Vassal states around Iran such as UAE, Saudis and “Azerbaijan” are just as compromised as Trump is! So I am all for a regional war!
