Washington, June 23
Protests rage across several major US cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles against the airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
The demonstrations on Sunday came after US President Donald Trump announced that America had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran and warned Tehran of further military action unless it ended its confrontation with Israel.
The targeted locations reportedly include the highly fortified Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear facilities.
Over 200 protestors, including some war veterans, gathered outside the gates of the White House in Washington, holding banners that read "No War with Iran" against the Trump administration's air strikes.
Reports suggest that in New York, hundreds of protestors marched from Times Square to Columbus Circle waving flags and carrying placards which read, "Stop the war in Iran," "Hands off Iran," and "No new war in the Middle East."
Condemning the bombing, the protestors termed it an "act of war" and not diplomacy.
They raised concern, stating that such a move "would undermine the chances of an international treaty" to curb the proliferation of nuclear weapons, according to local media reports.
