Thousands of people took to the streets of the Venezuelan capital Caracas on Tuesday to condemn U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, and to demand the release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.

The demonstrators gathered in a park in western Caracas, holding banners and waving Venezuelan national flags as they marched along main thoroughfares toward Bolivar Square.

Participants chanted slogans condemning the U.S. hegemonic actions and voiced support for the Iranian people. Many also reiterated their demand that the United States release Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.

"This is a protest against the ongoing and increasingly violent imperialist intervention. I am here to question why they are bombing Iran, just as they have bombed Venezuela and Gaza. I strongly oppose what is happening now. We believe that the internal affairs of a sovereign nation should be decided by its own people, and no other country has the right to interfere," said Sonia, a protester.
