"I love them, I love my country, and I love all of the people in Iran. I haven't been in touch with them due to the blackout following coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes that started at the end of February. The March for Liberation was a way to stand in solidarity with her sister and extended family still in Iran."
"The whole world is quiet and saying nothing, so I am grateful for the state of Israel and America for stepping up for the people of Iran. Some who marched said they feel conflicted over seeing war ravage their homeland, but added after 47 years of suffering, it's the only way towards the home they know and love."
"Your hero is our hero, and that is what we are standing for today here. Those rallying in Manhattan chanted their support for President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their joint attacks on Iran, which in the early phases killed its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan for a "March for Liberation" to support coordinated U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The conflict has caused at least 1,200 deaths in Iran, over 300 in Lebanon, 11 in Israel, and seven U.S. servicemembers, with extensive damage to buildings including residential and medical facilities. Participants, many with family connections to Iran, expressed support for President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu while standing in solidarity with Iranian people. Despite acknowledging the human cost of war, marchers stated that after 47 years of suffering under current Iranian leadership, military intervention represents the path toward positive change for their homeland.
