All I know is I'm Persian/Iranian and I don't burn Obselisks. But It seems to be The Symbol of Devil, And USA being the Devil, so .... :)) OK, I don't do that so don't curse me :p

Iranians are burning obelisk as they believe they are associated with free masonry and other religions that they deem as satanic. Destroying the obelisks is to show they do not support and do not want to be associated with the representations of these religions or cults.

I am not sure there is s single correct statement in that rant. "Obelisk" is a Greek word, and it has nothing to do with Baal. If it referenced Baal, Baal's name would be in it. Obelisks are primarily Egyptian, and Egyptians do not worship Pan. Or Baal, for that matter. A "witch" is not a good source of historical information, anymore than a brain surgeon is a good source of information about fixing a car. The obelisk is primarily associated with Ra, not Osiris, Horus, etc. And I fail to see how the rebirth of Osiris, minus his penis, somehow gives meaning to an obelisk, which isn't associated with him at all. It is not a "small step." It's a giant, blind leap. You seem to have answered your own question, although you did it by cutting and pasting from another question and answer site. I find it impossible to find an actual article on the phenomena, although I did find a handful of rants, which aren't the same thing.

All I know is the obelisk first time was a tall building built by Nemrood(the cruel king that didn t bielive GOD) to climb up to the sky and KILL GOD.So please judje Fairly.Is that right to continue what NEMROOD did in past?we may hate some people around us BUT is it right to HATE & TURN AGAINST GOD exactly like Nemrood?

It took me about 20 minutes to choose the links posted below among 1000's I found by a single click. lol. For over 200 years many people around the globe and specially Americans in the US, have been opposing, burning, cursing and doing what have you to Obelisks and what they think it symbolizes which is Freemasons and Secret societies. Now i don't give a hoot about who is right or wrong. But I can tell you for sure that what this people doing in Iran does not represent they hatred of Americans or Israelis, but it shows their opposition against the two Governments and what they believe these two govs. represent. lol, so what's new?
The obelisk was labelled with a Jewish star and an anti-American slogan, which explains why they were taking out their temper on it. It is hard to sympathise with the sort of loser who erects a symbol of his opponent, only to try to knock it down.
The video actually shows a rather pathetic scene - a very few young men, uniformly dressed in white shirts and dark trousers, stoning the thing while the city's life goes on unperturbed in the bckground.
If that is the best Iran can do, Israel and the USA do not need to worry for a while.
The obelisk, despite an accelerant (petrol?) being used was reluctant to burn; at the end of the video it was marked but still standing, and the demonstrators were looking increasingly ineffective. A bad omen for the Iranians.

Because every time they get upset they have temper tantrums. Children will play with fire too if you don't watch them, but they're children. If you don't get my point, Iranians show signs of immaturity. I typed this into my search engine ..''Iran burn'' that's as far as I got and this is what came up...
Iran burn British flag
Iran burning flags
Iran burning English flag etc.
Iran burning
I know they burn American flags too. Is this all these people know how to do?''Their burnings'' aren't getting as much attention as they'd like. Every time Iranians are upset with ''Israel'' (like they're yelling in the ''Iran burn obelisks video'') or anyone else, they start burning stuff.It's ridiculous, they look like idiots, and it's getting old.
