Protests have been held in various countries around the world, including the United States, against the US-Iran war.

Protesters gathered in Manhattan, New York, demanding that the White House focus on improving the lives of Americans instead of getting caught up in foreign conflicts. They chanted, "Let's not go to war in Iran. Money is for people's needs, not for war."

Ethan Maborak, the manager of the National Iranian-American Council, told CNN that the Iranian-American community is shocked by the attack on Iran. He said that there is no end in sight to this war. He also said that President Donald Trump  has broken his previous stance of not going to war. Those participating in the movement said that regime change is a matter of the rights of Iranian citizens and that interference in it should not be allowed. There has also been a demonstration in Los Angeles demanding an end to the war.

Iranian monarchists and supporters of the Islamic regime demonstrated separately in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday. The demonstrations in Europe were attended by both monarchists and supporters of the Islamic regime. Their common demand was an end to the war. 

Demonstrations took place in various European cities, including Berlin, Stockholm, Paris, and London. In London, people demonstrated against the war, while some marched in support of the slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini.

The demonstrators in Berlin, Stockholm, and Paris carried the flag of the Iranian monarchy. They demanded that former Crown Prince Mohammad Reza Pahlavi be declared king. 

All the demonstrators demanded an end to the war. An estimated 5,000 to 6,000 people gathered in London. 

Two demonstrations took place in Paris. One called on Pahlavi to lead a transitional period. They claimed that the crisis in Iran was caused by the repression of the Islamic regime.

The other condemned the intervention and attack by the United States and Israel on the Islamic Republic. 

“I support Pahlavi, who called for revolution,” said 35-year-old student Massoud Ghanatian at a protest in southern Paris. The demonstrators carried pictures of Pahlavi. They waved US, Israeli and pre-revolutionary Iranian flags.

But protesters wearing yellow vests reading “Free Iran” carried stickers reading “No Shah, No Mullah.”

Hundreds of pro-Pahlavi demonstrators also gathered in Stockholm. There were also demonstrations in Amsterdam. In Britain, anti-war protesters gathered outside the gates of an air force base in Fairford, southwest England. They urged the US and Israel not to attack Iran.

Britain has already decided to allow the base to be used by Britain for defensive purposes during an attack on Iran. The protesters also opposed Britain’s entry into the war.

While protests are taking place in the US and around the world, Trump is claiming to further accelerate the war. He claimed that the US has achieved great success in Iran. Similarly, he has also said that a very strong attack will be made on Iran in the coming days. Similarly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that almost all of Iran's air force bases have been completely destroyed.

He said that Tehran's major oil reserves and processing infrastructure were attacked. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Trump of misunderstanding Iran's capabilities and intentions. He said that Trump himself has ended Iran's will to reduce tensions with the US. Similarly, Iran's top leader Ali Larijani claimed that the US will pay a heavy price for the war.
