London:Anti-war activists, civil society campaigners, and dozens of Iranians residing in Britain gathered outside the US Embassy in London to voice their opposition to Washington's military threats and hostile policies towards Iran.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the demonstrators, holding Iranian flags, condemned the threats against their country and demanded an immediate cessation of military interventions by the United States and Israel in the region.

The protest, organized by the Stop the War Coalition and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), featured participants carrying placards with slogans such as 'Hands off Iran' and 'No to war.' The demonstrators called on the British government to intensify efforts to curb the White House's aggressive policies.

In its call for the rally, CND highlighted a recent US attack on Iran's Qeshm Island and fresh threats from President Donald Trump against Iran. They emphasized that the conflict pursued by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must be halted.

The anti-war organization also attributed the Republican Party's significant losses in the US midterm elections to the repercussions of the conflict with Iran and urged the British government to withdraw its support for the war. Demonstrators further called on British Prime Minister Andy Burnham to clearly rule out the use of UK military bases, including Fairford and Diego Garcia, for any further attacks on Iran.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Burnham remarked that the Republican Party's defeat in the US congressional midterm elections provided a new opportunity to end hostilities with Iran and stressed the importance of de-escalating tensions in West Asia.
