Protesters arrive at the White House to protest against US and Israeli bombings in Iran

Hundreds of protesters gathered this week in front of the White House in Washington D.C. to protest against the recent bombings carried out by the United States and Israel against military targets in Iran.

The demonstrations brought together pacifist groups, student organizations, human rights activists, and members of the Iranian diaspora. Many carried signs with messages such as "No War with Iran," "Stop the Bombing," and "Diplomacy, not missiles," calling for an immediate end to military operations and the resumption of diplomatic negotiations.

During the demonstration, participants chanted slogans against the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and criticized Washington's foreign policy, arguing that new armed interventions could increase regional instability and raise the number of civilian casualties.

Local police reinforced security around the presidential complex, but the protest was largely peaceful, with no initial reports of clashes or significant arrests.

The acts reflect a growing division within the United States itself regarding military involvement in the conflict. While authorities argue that the attacks aim to contain strategic threats, opponents warn of the risk of a larger-scale war.

Similar demonstrations are being organized in other American cities in the coming days, indicating that the public debate about US actions in the Middle East is likely to remain intense.
