Angry protesters marched on the American embassy in London last weekend demanding
an end to US-Israeli strikes on Iran. The march was organised by a coalition of groups,
including Hands off Iran, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War, the Muslim Association of Britain, the Palestinian Forum in Britain and CND.

The organisers said more than 50,000 demonstrators marched from Millbank to the US embassy in Vauxhall on Saturday afternoon. It came on the eighth day of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, shortly after President Donald Trump said the USA would hit Iran “very hard” in the
coming days.

Protesters were heard chanting “stop the bombing now, now, now” and “Keir Starmer
be afraid, we will see you in The Hague”.

Your Party MP Zarah Sultana spoke at the demonstration outside the US embassy, saying:

“Back then [in 2003], we were told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. We were told
that war would bring peace and democracy.

“We were told that the war would protect Iraqis and protect the world, but the truth was very
different. And 23 years ago, when we marched against the Iraq war, we were ignored.

“We will not be ignored again, because history proved them right, and today, we raise
our voices for peace, for justice and for a world where governments learn the lessons of the
past.”

Hours before the march on Saturday morning, US Air Force B-1 Lancer bombers landed at the
RAF Fairford base in Gloucester shire, in southern England. Trump’s War Secretary, Pete Hegseth, said that the USA would use British bases to “dramatically” increase its strikes on Iran. The Starmer government has allowed the Americans to use UK military bases for the purpose of targeting Iranian missile sites.
