Solidarity with Iran New York protest

Hours after the Israeli occupation launched attacks on Iran's capital, Tehran, and other provinces, protesters in New York held a demonstration in the heart of the city at Times Square to condemn the aggression which targeted residential homes, killing women and children.

Protesters slammed the US for intentions to spark a regional war amid its complicity in other wars and genocides in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen, calling the airstrikes illegal.

We are standing here in Times Square to protest the Zionist aggression against Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Zionist regime are claiming to give a gift for the world protesting Iran.

This is the so called gift of 77 years of rivers of bloodshed, and they are not finished now. They want to do more bloodshed.

Rabbi Yitzchok Deutsch, Neturei Karta

  Protest in New York against Israeli attacks on Iran

  In solidarity with the Iranian people, protestors took over Times Square in New York City to condemn the atrocious US-Israeli aggression on the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Nobody wants this, besides Netanyahu.

These are illegal strikes. They are done with US backing.

American foreign policy should put the interests of Americans first and not the interest of a messianic, ridiculous Netanyahu government struggling and setting fire to the entire region to hold his coalition together.

Etan Mabourakh, Manager at NIAC

Protesters in New York are condemning the Israeli Aggression on Iran, which was green-lighted and assisted by the US, and which has resulted in the martyrdom of 80 civilians, including children.

The protesters are standing in solidarity with the Iranian people, as they have done with the people of Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen.

  China, Russia condemn Israel’s violation of Iran’s sovereignty

  Chinese and Russian foreign ministers have strongly condemned Israel’s aggression against Iran, calling it a violation of the Islamic Republic’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Banners were held high, calling to put a stop to a war with Iran, highlighting the complicity of the US in Israel's attack, while other banners expressed Iran's right to its nuclear enrichment program aiming to deter the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.

You know, Israel is 100% backed by both the Democratic Party and the Republicans, who both have imperialist war aims, and a program to do that.

  Loud explosions heard in Tehran and other Iranian provinces

  Loud explosions were heard early Friday in some areas of the Iranian capital of Tehran and other provinces across the country.

Illegal bombing against the people of Iran has attacked residential neighborhoods, key infrastructure.

 It has killed not only top military and government officials, but civilians, children.

Israel has raged genocide against the people of Palestine, it has bombed Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, all of this, all of this was made possible through billions of dollars in military aid from the United States.

  Israel bombs residential buildings in Tehran

  Israeli airstrikes have left at least 78 civilians dead and more than 300 injured.

These people can't even keep their lies straight.

Just a few hours later, Trump was on social media saying that he's going to send the most lethal weapons that America has to Israel.

We're simply watching the same playbook that Washington has given to Israel with its genocide in Gaza now being repeated, to bomb Iran, to bomb Iranian civilians, to bomb women and children and families and homes.

Solidarity With Iran, Speaker

With the brazen Israeli attack and the Iranian counter-strike, it's clear that a new history is being written for the region and for the world to see.
