Anti-war demonstrations swept through major U.S. cities this week following military strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities. Crowds gathered in New York City's Times Square and outside the White House in Washington, D.C., with protesters holding banners reading "Stop the War on Iran" and "Hands Off Iran."
The ANSWER Coalition organized emergency rallies in over 15 cities, with approximately 100 participants at the New York gathering. Social media footage showed similar protests unfolding in other urban centers.
"Trump's unprovoked bombing violates international law and risks catastrophic regional escalation," stated the coalition's website, condemning the strikes as potential war crimes under the UN Charter.
Activists emphasized concerns about nuclear radiation risks and called for immediate cessation of military actions against Iran. The developments come amid heightened global scrutiny of Middle Eastern security dynamics and nuclear nonproliferation efforts.
