Anti-war protests have erupted in several U.S. cities following strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites. In New York City’s bustling Times Square, around 100 demonstrators took to the streets holding signs that read "Stop the War on Iran" and "Hands Off Iran." Similar scenes unfolded outside the White House in Washington, D.C., as citizens voiced their outrage. 🤯
The ANSWER Coalition, one of the key organizers, confirmed that emergency demonstrations are planned in over 15 cities nationwide. According to a post on their website, "(U.S. President Donald) Trump's unprovoked bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities is an outright war crime. It violates the UN Charter, international law and the U.S. Constitution. It threatens to set into motion a regional or even global war with massive casualties, nuclear radiation and catastrophic consequences."
These protests reflect deep concerns over the potential escalation of conflict and the dire consequences of military actions. With tensions rising, the dynamic response from diverse communities across the U.S. shows that many are calling for a pause and a reassessment of such strategies. Stay tuned for further updates on this unfolding story that continues to spark debate and demand peaceful resolutions. 📰✌️
