Americans are taking them to the streets to protest US troops’ involvement in Iran. Protesters hope this week’s numbers will swell.
Anti-war protests arise as the world awaits Trump’s decision
Demonstrations have emerged across the country to protest Israeli military action in the Middle East.
WASHINGTON – Protests against US military involvement in Iran, including some outside the New York and the White House on June 22, are expected to continue throughout the week in communities across the country.
The protest comes shortly after President Donald Trump, who has ordered an attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities. A demonstration is currently underway in Washington, DC, New York and Boston on Sunday, June 22nd, according to a social media post.
“The American people don’t want another eternal war. The American people want money for the needs of the people!”
The protests are partly organized by answers (now to stop the war, act to end racism, to end racism) The coalition, an anti-war group, is calling for Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the war with Iran.
The response is a leftist group that organized protests against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, with other US military actions, including some who attracted hundreds of thousands of participants. Earlier this year, the organization was part of a coalition of groups across the country for days after Trump took office.
Other protests are planned next week, including a march of the people to “stop the war with Iran” scheduled for June 28th.
Trump administration officials defended the attack on Sunday morning, and President Trump threatened further action.
“If peace doesn’t come soon, we’ll chase those other targets with accuracy, speech and skill,” Trump told the White House on Saturday.
Congress is scheduled to return to Washington this week. Many Republican lawmakers praised Trump’s move.
“President Trump has made it consistently clear that Iran, a nuclear weapon, is unacceptable,” said Chairman Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican.
However, some Democrats have denounced Trump’s “unilateral decision” to attack Iran without Congressional approval, calling it illegal.
“The move is a sequel to the withdrawal from nuclear deal, a sequel to the rash of withdrawal from nuclear deals, putting our nation, our military and innocent people at a serious risk,” said Rep. James Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat, in a statement. This attack contradicts his promise to the Americans. ”
