Anti-war protests erupted in New York City after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. With rising tensions, major American cities, including NYC, are now on high alert amid fears of potential retaliation and unrest.

The verbal showdown between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy has been under world scrutiny.
