A video showing several people protesting on the streets is going viral on social media to claim that it shows people in the United States protesting against the US' attacks on Iran.
How did we find out the truth?: We performed a reverse image search on some of the keyframes of the viral video and this led us to an Instagram post shared on 15 June 2025.
It states that the video shows a protest that happened in 14 June 2025 in San Diego, against US President Donald Trump.
The caption further mentions hashtags related to the No Kings protests.
It nowhere mentions that the protests were linked to the attacks on Iran.
We then carried a relevant keyword search on Google which led us to reports about the 'No Kings' protests that happened across the US on 14 June.
According to the reports, these protests were organized by activist organizations to retaliate against the Army Day parade being conducted by Trump in Washington DC for his 79th birthday.
These protests aimed at challenging the "administration’s authoritarianism and corruption".
A video report also carried footage of the same area as seen in the viral video.
It showed the aerial footage of the march held at San Diego Waterfront Park.
The report shows the same incident.

Conclusion: An old and unrelated video of protest is being falsely shared as US citizens protesting against the involvement of US in attacking Iran.
