Watch: US strikes against Iran spark protests in North America
Demonstrators took to the streets in major North American cities like New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Toronto on Sunday to protest US President Donald Trump's decision to launch strikes against Iran's nuclear program. Watch the video to see how citizens reacted.
Trump's Move
The strikes came after intelligence officials accused Iran of plotting to kill Trump, which the regime has denied. The US President claimed that Iran posed a "very real threat" and that the move was meant to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Global Implications
The decision has already sparked tensions between the US and Iran, with Iran's foreign minister saying the country will take necessary actions in response. It remains to be seen how this will affect the Iran nuclear deal, which was already on shaky grounds.
Demonstrations
The protests come as no surprise as tensions between the two countries have been escalating for years. Analysts suggest this could be the start of a major shift in US foreign policy that could affect the entire Middle East.
