US: Dynamic Anti-War Protest in New York – "Money for the Needs of Citizens, Not for War with Iran"

An anti-war demonstration took place in New York City on Saturday against the US military action in Iran, with protesters demanding that money be allocated to the needs of citizens and not to war. Protesters held placards with anti-war messages and chanted slogans against US involvement. Ethan Mabourah, a spokesperson for the National Iranian American Council, said that the Iranian-American community is watching with disappointment the escalation of the conflict, as President Trump has broken his promise not to involve the US in new wars. He stressed that Americans are tired of endless wars. The demonstration is part of a broader mobilization against the war in Iran, with protesters arguing that military action will have negative consequences for the region and for the US. They are calling on the Trump administration to pursue a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
