💨 Abstract

In The Hague, hundreds of protesters gathered to oppose NATO, military spending, and a potential conflict with Iran. Protesters, including Iranians, called for peace and investment in sustainable energy, following recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The rally precedes a NATO summit where leaders aim to increase defense budgets, a move opposed by Spain's Prime Minister. The summit, involving heavy security, will discuss U.S. demands for higher defense spending amid ongoing tensions and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
