A group of anti-war protesters are making their views known in a rally at the state capitol. Yesterday a protest event organized by several groups including the Party for Socialism and Liberation was held as a show of resistance to any further U.S. conflict with Iran.
The anti-war demonstration follows Friday’s U.S. airstrike that killed top Iranian Quds Force commander General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad. The Trump administration says the drone strike is in response to the New Year’s Eve attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad purported to have been orchestrated by General Soleimani.
