China-Linked Protest Network Wasted No Time Rallying For Iran After Trump Strikes

Activist groups tied to a pro-China millionaire quickly took to the streets to foment resistance to President Donald Trump’s Saturday strikes against Iran’s nuclear program.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), the People’s Forum and the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition were involved in protests around the country, complete with signs and other equipment, within 24 hours after the U.S. military bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. The groups share overlapping leadership and are part of a political network centered around Neville Roy Singham, an American businessman funding propaganda efforts supportive of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), another U.S. adversary. (RELATED: Group Stoking Anti-ICE LA Riots Tied To Pro-Chinese Communist Millionaire)

These demonstrations, which legacy media outlets dubbed “anti-war,” are a coordinated effort by groups that have supported Iran-backed terrorism and seek to disrupt and undermine U.S. foreign policy, national security experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“These are not ‘anti-war’ protests, they are foreign-backed campaigns of subversion intended to create domestic instability and uncertainty to weaken the United States,” Kyle Shideler, senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy, told the DCNF.

“This is a pre-existing network with non-profits as its backbone that has been activated for Iran, just as it’s activated for every single enemy of the U.S.,” said Ryan Mauro, who studies extremism and terrorism for the Capital Research Center. “Their protests don’t reflect an objective opinion based on facts, they reflect an anti-American, anti-capitalist and usually anti-Semitic ideology.”

The PSL, People’s Forum and ANSWER Coalition did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment. Singham could not be reached for comment.

The three organizations are also organizing and promoting a “March on Washington” scheduled for Saturday to protest the “unprovoked and illegal war of aggression against Iran.” The march would continue the groups’ involvement in mass anti-Israel demonstrations in the U.S. since 2023. Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran on Monday, putting the Middle East conflict on hold.
