UK: Pro-Iranian Protesters Rally Outside Downing Street Against US Military Action in Iran

Pro-Iranian protesters gathered outside Downing Street Tuesday night, March 7 in an "emergency protest" organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), demanding the UK government distance itself from US military action against Iran. The rally followed Trump's threats against Iran earlier that day, before a ceasefire was announced. The IHRC called Trump's actions "genocidal" and urged the UK to restrict American use of British military bases.
