Americans Protest against US Involvement in Iran-Israel Conflict

Dozens of Americans demonstrated across several US cities, protesting against potential involvement in Israel's war on Iran, according to multiple news outlets. Since Israel launched a military operation against Iran on June 13, 2025, small demonstrations took place across many cities in the US, rejecting Washington's intervention in the war. On Tuesday, protests took place in San Jose, California. Some demonstrators waved Iranian flags, while others held up signs saying 'Hands Off Iran.' The San Jose Peace and Justice group organized the demonstration, Newsweek reported citing local news outlets. Milwaukee in Wisconsin saw demonstrations on Monday, where hundreds showed up for a 'hands-off Iran' protest. They also called for imposing an arms embargo on Israel. The protest was organized by the Milwaukee Anti-War Coalition. Similarly, the Bronx Anti-War group held a 'Solidarity with Iran' protest in New York City. Moreover, the Associated Press (AP) reported a protest in Los Angeles on Wednesday rejecting the US potential intervention in the conflict. A video showed demonstrators carrying signs reading 'Refuse Unlawful Orders,' 'No US-Israel War on Iran' and 'We Won't Let You Drag US into Global War!' Anti-war demonstrators also gathered in front of the White House on Wednesday, calling for an arms embargo on Israel, according to CBS News. The US President, Donald Trump, has left open the possibility of joining Israel in its war on Iran, raising controversy among his Make America Great Again (MAGA) base. During his presidential campaign, Trump promised to keep the US away from foreign wars, under his 'America First' promises. However, Trump's stance on the Iran-Israel conflict has drawn criticism from some prominent conservative commentators, including Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon, who refuse US military action against Iran. Furthermore, the independent US Senator, Bernie Sanders, urged Trump not to drag the US into Israel's war. Short link : Post Views: 24
