At a rally in Tel Aviv (Israel) last night, people waved Israeli flags and held signs calling for an end to the war. "Foreign bombs free no one," read one sign, while another said, "no more feeding the war machine."
Protester Uri Weltmann told Reuters that the current leaders of the United States and Israel "promise us a reality of endless war, if not in Gaza, then in Iran, and if not in Iran (then) in Lebanon."
In Paris (France) yesterday, demonstrators also waved Iranian flags, many making peace signs with their hands. One protester, Hiva Mohammad, told Reuters that bombing Iran is a "bad thing," adding that changes in the country should "come from within."
"No bombs and no war can change the fact that Iran must be liberated by its own people and its own resistance," she said.
On Friday, at a demonstration outside the US consulate in Cape Town, South Africa, protesters held signs reading "Hands off Iran" and waved Iranian flags. One sign read "Trump must go!".
In Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday, people waved Lebanese flags. One woman held a sign that read "Israel killed this child" next to a picture of a small boy.
Meanwhile, in Plano, Texas, yesterday, people protested against the current Iranian regime, waving flags from before the Iranian revolution, as well as US and Israeli flags.

In Beirut, Lebanon, on Saturday, people waved Hezbollah and Lebanese flags, and demonstrators who spoke to Reuters largely expressed support for the Iranian-backed group.
"In this land where we die, where houses collapse over our heads and the heads of our children, no one would extend a helping hand to us if it weren't for this resistance. No one would ever come to us and negotiate with us if the resistance didn't exist," said protester Mohamed Jaber, according to Reuters.
