People have taken to streets around the world in recent days to protest against the US and Israel’s war with Iran, now ongoing for more than a month.
In Tel Aviv, Israel, yesterday, demonstrators called for an end to the war, with one sign reading “disarm Israel first,” and another with the words “stop repeating the Gaza playbook in Iran and Lebanon and the West Bank.”
Images taken by Reuters show Israeli security forces breaking up the demonstrations in the city’s Habima Square.
At a march against far-right extremism in London yesterday, some participants could be seen protesting against the war with Iran, with one holding a sign reading “Stop US/Israel unlawful war on Iran,” while others waved Palestinian flags.
In Athens, Greece yesterday, people waved Iranian, Lebanese and Palestinian flags at a demonstration in front of the US embassy.
In Dakar, Senegal on Friday, people marched waving Lebanese, Iranian and Palestinian flags. One woman held up a sign comparing the treatment of Palestinians by Israel to apartheid in South Africa. Others held up images of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In Beirut, Lebanon on Friday, people demonstrated in support of Hezbollah and Iran, holding candles and portraits of the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah while they marched. On Saturday, protests also took place in the city after three journalists were killed in a targeted Israeli strike.
In Sanaa, Yemen, thousands of people took to the streets in support of Iran, with many waving Iranian and Palestinian flags. Video taken by Reuters shows young boys holding guns as they chanted with the crowd.
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Spain, some protesters took to the streets to support the ongoing conflict.
Navid, a 25 year old Iranian dentist, told Reuters: “Maybe it sounds a bit crazy to say we support the war, but the thing is, there’s no other way. We tried every other way to overthrow the government, especially in the January (anti-regime protests in Iran).”
