‘Hanoi’ Jane Fonda leaves her $6M LA mansion to slam Tehran strikes — as Iranian Americans celebrate in streets


Activist actress Jane Fonda stepped out of her $6 million LA home on Saturday to denounce US military strikes against Iran.
Fonda — who lives in a luxury townhouse in Century City valued at about $5.45 million, has owned several high-profile properties over the years — temporarily left her home to join a protest outside City Hall.
Addressing demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles, the 88-year-old blasted the administration’s actions.
“Right now we are witnessing the horror of an unnecessary, unprovoked war of choice waged by the Trump administration, a war that has already taken the lives of dozens of schoolchildren because they bombed a girls’ school in Iraq, among other civilian targets… Iran,” Fonda said.
She added the current moment feels hauntingly familiar, invoking memories of the Vietnam War, when American troops were sent into combat overseas.
“Right now, parents are pulling their children out of the rubble,” she said. “This dangerous and insane war against Iran not only violates international law, our Constitution, and the War Powers Act, but risks exploding into a vast war of mass proportions, taking the lives of many, including US service members.”
A longtime anti-war advocate, Fonda told the crowd the issue transcends politics and directly affects human lives.
She also criticized what she described as “profit over people,” arguing that wars often benefit defense contractors, financial interests, and oil companies while ordinary families suffer the consequences.
Meanwhile, Iranian Americans across the city celebrated the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
Hundreds of demonstrators from Los Angeles’ Iranian-American community took to the streets Saturday to celebrate the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader.
“I want to cry. I want to scream. I want to dance. I want to laugh — but above all, I just want to celebrate,” said LA resident Shervin Khorramian, 55, waving an Iranian flag as he joined the elated crowd outside the Wilshire Federal Building in Westwood.
Demonstrators in Los Angeles — home to the largest Iranian community in the U.S., affectionately known as “Tehrangeles” — marched outside the federal building waving American, Iranian, and Israeli flags and holding posters thanking President Trump.
“I feel absolutely elated, and I feel hopeful,” Khorramian added. “For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful that this really could be the turning point for Iran.”
