From London to Gaza and Tehran: Massive March Condemns the Zionist-American Aggression
The streets of the British capital, London, are set to witness a major public mobilization on Saturday, as Arabs and Muslims across Britain prepare to take part in large-scale demonstrations condemning the Zionist-American aggression.
These protests come at a critical moment, aiming to raise voices against a catastrophic escalation that threatens to drag the region into widespread destruction. Protest organizers accuse the Israeli occupation of using the current war as a “pretext” to justify an invasion of Lebanon and to tighten the siege on the Gaza Strip.
“Why Are We Marching Tomorrow?” – An Urgent Call to Reject “Catastrophic Escalation”
In a strongly worded statement issued by some of Britain’s largest solidarity organizations — the Stop the War Coalition, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) — the groups called on the public to join a major march heading toward the U.S. Embassy.
The statement described the ongoing Zionist-American aggression against Iran as a “catastrophic escalation,” warning that it has already caused significant destruction and risks pulling the entire region into a full-scale war.
Organizers also said that the Israeli occupation is using the conflict as a justification to “legitimize an invasion of Lebanon and continue blocking humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza.” They warned against repeating the tragedies of past wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, which they said left behind only chaos and instability.
Calls to Close British Bases to U.S. Military Aircraft
The London demonstration will coincide with additional protests at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, where activists are opposing the decision by Prime Minister Keir Starmer to allow U.S. forces to use British military bases — including the facility on Diego Garcia — to launch American strikes.
Sophie Bolt, General Secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), said:
“Starmer must stand up to Trump, halt active military support, and close the U.S. bases that are placing Britain on the front line.”
A Divided Street: Parallel Demonstrations and Tight Security Restrictions
Meanwhile, a separate march organized by groups opposing the Iranian government is scheduled to take place in Whitehall, heading toward the Iranian Embassy in Knightsbridge.
British police have imposed strict conditions on the demonstrations, including:
- Setting designated routes for protesters and requiring all gatherings to end before 5:00 p.m.
- Banning the use of loudspeakers or musical instruments during the anti-Iranian government protest.
- Increasing security patrols around sensitive locations to prevent harassment of Muslim, Jewish, or Iranian communities.
The organizations behind the anti-war demonstration concluded their statement by stressing the need to transform public opposition into “meaningful action,” urging everyone who values peace and seeks an end to the suffering of people across the Middle East to take a stand — either by joining the march in London or by participating in local protests elsewhere.
