Anti-US Protests Mobilize as Strikes on Iran Begin, Reports Say

Anti-U.S. protests were rapidly organized across several American cities as the first bombs fell during U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran, according to reports. Demonstrations were reportedly coordinated by activist groups linked to nonprofits funded by tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, who critics allege has ties to pro-China influence networks.

Protesters gathered in locations including New York’s Times Square and dozens of other cities, condemning the military operation and calling for an end to escalation in the Middle East. Organizers described the strikes as acts of war, while critics argued the protests echoed messaging aligned with U.S. geopolitical rivals.

The demonstrations highlight growing domestic divisions in the United States as global tensions rise following the attacks on Iran.
