Iran Israel War: In today’s digital world, wars are no longer limited to just borders and military bases. They are being fought on our smartphone screens, social media feeds and even within our beliefs. In recent times, amidst the increased tension between Iran and Israel, a new kind of wave is visible on the Internet, where instead of military analysts, the discussion of mystics and self-proclaimed prophets is increasing rapidly.
Many videos and posts going viral on social media are claiming that the incidents of breaking a symbol, burning a statue or alleged ‘witchcraft’ are directly related to the current Israel-Iran crisis. These claims have raised questions in the minds of many people. Is there really some mysterious force at work, or is this a new form of modern information warfare?
Market of rumors and ‘psychological warfare’
The spread of misinformation during any major geopolitical conflict is not new. The uncertainty of war creates fear and insecurity among people, and this environment allows rumors to spread rapidly.
According to global media reports, a large amount of unverified claims and videos have been emerging on social media during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which often create a narrative that differs from the actual events. Many reports from big and reputed media houses indicate that digital propaganda and rumors spread rapidly during times of war.
When we see that the condition of a country has worsened after some symbolic event, our mind tries to connect the two events. In psychology, it is called Appophenia, in which a person starts finding patterns even among unrelated events. The reality is that Iran’s current situation is the result of international sanctions, internal political conflicts, and regional military strategies, and not the supernatural influence of some symbolic event.
Viral Video: Truth vs Fiction
Videos floating on social media, in which witchcraft or mysterious activities are being talked about, are often presented out of context.
- New use of old video: Many times old videos of some local religious tradition or cultural program are linked to the new war context.
- Growing impact of AI: In the era of generative AI, fake or edited videos can be created so easily that it becomes difficult for the common viewer to differentiate between real and fake.
Fact-check organizations have reported on several occasions that during times of war or political crisis, old videos and photos are made viral in a new context, thereby spreading confusion.
The statue of ‘Baal’ and the politics of myths
It is also being claimed on social media that the situation in Iran has deteriorated after the incidents of burning or breaking of a symbolic statue like ‘Baal’.
However, no concrete evidence has emerged for these claims. It cannot be considered logical to establish a direct connection between the destruction of a symbol and the political or economic crisis of a country.
But the use of symbols in politics is very effective. Many times such symbolic demonstrations are done to influence public sentiments, strengthen religious identity and convey political messages. This type of symbolic politics has also been widely discussed in the international media, in which the use of symbols during conflicts has been described as a part of psychological strategy.
Trump’s prayer and politicization of religion
Recently, a video of former US President Donald Trump also came into discussion, in which he is seen praying with priests in the Oval Office.
Religion has long been an influential element in American politics. Such public prayer meetings are often not just a spiritual activity but also convey a political message. Through these, leaders indicate to their supporters that their politics is linked to moral and religious values.
However, it is not logical to link such incidents with any miraculous strategy or power that changed the direction of the war.

How do we become aware?
In this era of information war, some precautions are necessary as a responsible citizen.
check sources
Is the information shared by a credible news organization or expert?
understand the context
Do not immediately believe the caption of any video or post. Try to find out when and where it was recorded.
control emotions
Such news is often created to provoke emotions like fear, anger or wonder.
give priority to facts
Wars are influenced by real strategies, diplomacy, technology and economic power, not by superstition.
The Iran-Israel tension is definitely a matter of concern for the world. But looking at it through the prism of witchcraft or divine wrath is like diverting attention from the real reasons.
Mysterious stories circulating on social media are often just noise, obscuring the real events. The biggest weapon in the digital age is not only technology but also information.
Therefore, it is important that we do not immediately accept every viral claim as true. Investigate, understand the context and only then share any information. Because sometimes the story that seems most miraculous to us can also be the biggest propaganda.
