- Protests erupted worldwide against US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, including in the US, and Germany
- Demonstrators in the US carried Iranian flags and socialist signs, chanting anti-war slogans
- Pakistanis in Karachi and protesters in Berlin condemned US & Israeli actions, calling for an end to violence
People in multiple US cities and across the world have taken to the streets to demonstrate against President Donald Trump's decision to launch strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The actions, which Tehran called an act of war, were seen as a major escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict.
Protests broke out in Germany, Pakistan, Australia, and India, where demonstrators condemned the attack. In the US, several cities saw large-scale anti-war protests on Sunday, with banners reading "Hands off Iran" and "No US-Israel war on Iran."
Footage shared on X showed protesters chanting anti-war slogans and urging the Trump administration to stop backing Israel and withdraw from the escalating conflict.
Outside the White House, demonstrators waved Iranian flags and carried socialist-themed signs. Trump ally Laura Loomer posted a video of the protest, calling participants "anti-Trump, pro-Iran," and claimed the event was organised by groups linked to George Soros and the Muslim Brotherhood.
"Imagine being a 'Trump supporter' and repeating the Left's anti-Trump, pro-Iran talking points. Traitors and idiots," she wrote.
