‘STOP BOMBING IRAN’ – Anti-US protest erupts in Canada after Trump strikes Iran’s nuclear sites including Fordow
Massive protests broke out across several Canadian cities late last night after reports emerged that former U.S. President Donald Trump had ordered limited strikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities, including the heavily fortified Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant. Demonstrators in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal took to the streets chanting “Stop Bombing Iran” and “No War for Votes”, accusing Trump of triggering conflict to boost political momentum.
The controversial airstrikes, reportedly carried out by B-2 stealth bombers and precision missiles, were said to target Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure — sparking fears of a wider war in the Middle East. While U.S. officials have not confirmed the full extent of the damage, early intelligence suggests Fordow and other suspected enrichment facilities near Natanz suffered significant hits.
The Canadian protests saw thousands waving placards denouncing U.S. aggression, with many Iranian-Canadians voicing fears for family members back home. Civil society groups condemned the move as reckless and accused the U.S. of violating international law.
“This is not about security — it’s about distraction,” one protester in Toronto said. “Iran is being used as a political pawn.”
Meanwhile, Iran’s leadership has vowed “severe retaliation”, and global markets responded with immediate volatility — oil prices spiked and diplomatic backchannels buzzed with attempts to de-escalate the situation.
The United Nations has called for restraint, warning that a wider conflict could have “unimaginable humanitarian consequences.” With tensions escalating by the hour, the world now watches anxiously to see whether this marks the beginning of a broader military confrontation — or a dangerous political gambit gone too far.
