The protests took place in Washington, D.C., New York and Boston on June 22 and are expected to spread to many other cities this week. protests have addressed propaganda against the war, demanding that the US government stop interfering in the Middle East and use the budget for domestic needs.
The American people do not want an endless war. We need money for healthcare, education, housing, not for bullets, the Party for Socialism and Liberation posted on social network X.
This protest movement was led by long-standing anti-war organizations such as the ANSWER Alliance (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism: immediate action to end the war and end race).
ANSWER has held large-scale protests against the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan. The organization called on President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end military actions against Iran.
A major parade with the theme "end the war with Iran" is expected to take place in Washington, D.C. on June 28, with the participation of a series of left-wing organizations, human rights groups and communities of Middle Eastern Americans.
protests against the US have also appeared in Japan and Iran, showing an international response to new tensions in the region.
Previously, on June 21, US time, President Trump ordered an attack on three key Iranian nuclear facilities, seriously escalating the situation. Speaking at the White House, he warned that he would continue to attack other Iranian targets accurately and quickly if Iran did not make a concession.
Mixed reactions have emerged in the US Congress. Republican lawmakers strongly support military action, saying it is a necessary tough move to prevent an Iran with nuclear weapons. House Speaker Mike Johnson said: President Trumps stance has been carried out with strength and clarity.
However, Democrats have strongly criticized Mr Trump's unilateral decision without approval from Congress. Representative James Clyburn called the attack "courageous and dangerous", and accused Trump of violating his campaign commitment not to include the US in any more war in the Middle East.
The anti-war atmosphere in the US is heating up as people worry that the country will once again be caught up in a spiral of conflict in an already unstable area.
