Anti-war protests planned in major cities after US strikes Iran
Share this @internewscast.com


() Anti-war activists organized protests in multiple U.S. cities Sunday afternoon following President Donald Trump’s announcement that American forces bombed Iranian nuclear facilities.

Demonstrators planned to gather at 2 p.m. ET in Times Square in New York City as part of a coordinated nationwide protest that also included rallies in Los Angeles, Austin, Cincinnati, Chicago, Portland and Washington, D.C.

Protesters were scheduled to assemble outside the White House under the banner “No War on Iran! Trump is a War Criminal!” The demonstration was organized by several activist groups, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition and the National Iranian American Council.

Protest organizers condemned the airstrikes as violations of international law and the U.S. Constitution. In a statement announcing the Washington rally, organizers called Trump’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities “an outright war crime” that “violates the UN Charter, international law and the U.S. Constitution.”

The groups warned that the military action “threatens to set into motion a regional or even global war with massive casualties, nuclear radiation, and catastrophic consequences.”

Activists accused Trump of breaking campaign promises to end military conflicts, stating he “lied during the campaign when he said he was going to end the ‘forever wars’ and bring about peace.” The organizers drew comparisons to the 2003 Iraq invasion, claiming Trump “is no different from George W. Bush who lied about ‘weapons of mass destruction.'”

The protest groups demanded “an immediate end to US and Israeli attacks on Iran and its sovereignty” and called for redirecting military spending toward domestic priorities including healthcare, education and infrastructure.
