“The video shows Americans destroying police vehicles in protest against Donald Trump following the US attack on Iran.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show Americans protesting against Donald Trump over the US attack on Iran. It actually shows a violent protest in Downtown Los Angeles on 08 June 2025, sparked by immigration raids. Although protests did take place in multiple countries, including the US, against the 22 June 2025 strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, this video is not related to those demonstrations.
