In response to President Trump's decision to bomb Iran, protesters gathered in Times Square, denouncing the unilateral action and reminiscing about past anti-war movements. Hundreds voiced their concerns over Trump's failure to consult key government figures and his departure from promises not to engage in new conflicts. As they rallied for peace amid nostalgic protests reminiscent of the 2003 Iraq War controversy, speakers emphasized the risks of further military entanglement in the Middle East, highlighting the dangers posed to American service members and civilians in affected regions. Political leaders also demanded accountability for the president's actions.
This looks like it will bring another forever war in the Middle East - a forever war that Trump pledged he would avoid, said Etan Mabourakh of the National Iranian American Council.
While we don't yet know if last night's military action started a war or prevented one, I am nevertheless deeply troubled about President Trump's unilateral decision to take this action without consulting Congress, says US Rep. Dan Goldman.
