New Delhi (Vishvas News). Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, the US attacked three nuclear sites in Iran on June 22, 2025. Following this, a video showing a large street protest began circulating on social media, with claims suggesting that Americans were protesting against the US attack on Iran.
Vishvas News found this claim to be false in its investigation. The viral video is not related to the protests against the US attacks on Iran. This video is of the ‘No Kings’ protest held in San Diego on June 14, 2025, which was organised in protest against the policies of the US President Donald Trump. The US attacked Iran on June 22, 2025.
What is viral?
Instagram user fazilkhanamu shared the viral video (archived link) on June 22, 2025, with the caption, “Protests against Donald Trump in America….. ‘Go back’ slogans raised! Protests against the US attack on Iran!”
Investigation
To verify the authenticity of the viral video, we ran a Google reverse image search of its keyframes. We found the video uploaded on an Instagram page named jess_porter_official on June 15, 2025, with a caption clearly stating it was from an anti-Trump protest in San Diego, California.
A keyword search led us to several news reports confirming the context of the protest. According to a report by Fox 5 San Diego: “Thousands of people filled Waterfront Park in downtown San Diego on Saturday (June 14), joining millions across the country in the nationwide ‘No Kings’ protest in opposition to President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies.”
We found several news reports confirming the June 14, 2025, protests against the policies of the Trump government.
As per news reports, America attacked three nuclear sites of Iran on June 22, 2025.
To verify, Vishvas News also contacted JP Ranjan, a foreign affairs journalist at Dainik Jagran. He confirmed that the US attacked three nuclear sites in Iran on June 22, 2025. In contrast, the footage seen in the viral video is of the ‘No Kings’ protests, which were held across the US on June 14, 2025.
Finally, we scanned the profile of the user who shared the viral video with the false claim. Instagram user fazilkhanamu has 19000 followers.
Conclusion: Vishvas News investigated and found the viral claim to be false. The video in question does not show a protest against the US attacks on Iran. It was filmed during the ‘No Kings’ protest on June 14, 2025, in San Diego, which was organised against the policies of President Donald Trump. The US airstrikes on Iran occurred later, on June 22, 2025.
