APTProtesters gathered in Washington, DC to demonstrate against recent US–Israel attacks on Iran, voicing anger over the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Demonstrators marched through the US capital carrying banners and chanting slogans calling for an immediate end to military action. During the rally, some protesters criticized former President Donald Trump and US foreign policy, with one chant mocking Trump by claiming he “thought this was Venezuela.” The remark quickly spread across social media as footage from the protest circulated online. Participants accused Washington of deepening the conflict and warned that continued strikes could trigger a wider regional war. Activists called for diplomacy and de-escalation instead of military intervention.
The protest reflects growing divisions within the United States over the expanding Middle East crisis and Washington’s role in supporting Israel amid rising tensions with Iran. Police monitored the demonstration as protesters marched near key locations in the US capital. Organizers said the rally was intended to pressure policymakers to halt military operations and prioritize diplomatic solutions.
