Hundreds of protesters marched through the streets of New York, waving Palestinian flags and holding placards that read "Hands Off Iran" and "Stop The War on Iran", in response to Operation Midnight Hammer -- the US-led military action targeting Iran's Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz nuclear sites. Protesters were also calling out to Israel for initiating the conflict with Iran, as well as their military operation in Gaza.

Earlier in the day, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) stated that it is deploying more resources across key sites in the city to monitor any potential impact as developments unfold in Iran.
