Protests have erupted in the US against the US and Israeli attacks on Iran.

The protests have taken place in cities including New York after Israel and the US carried out a joint airstrike on Saturday that killed Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Various rights groups have demonstrated in cities including Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and Minneapolis. Similar protests are also planned in cities such as Albany, Ellensburg, Virginia, Gainesville, Florida and Missouri.

They have warned that President Donald Trump's attack on Iran is an act of war and will cause unimaginable destruction.

The American Civil Liberties Union has joined Democratic lawmakers in demanding that Congress take immediate action to end Trump's use of military force against Iran.
