WASHINGTON — Protests against the U.S. military involvement in Iran, including some in New York and outside the White House June 22, are expected to continue throughout the week in communities across the country. The protests come on the heels of President Donald Trump ordering attacks on three nuclear facilities in Iran. Demonstrations were underway Sunday, June 22 in Washington, D.C., New York and Boston, according to social media posts.
“The people of the United States don’t want another forever war. The people of the United States want money for people’s needs!’’ the Party for Socialism and Liberation posted on X. The protests, some organized in part by ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, an anti-war group, call for Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the war on Iran.
ANSWER is a left-wing group that has organized protests against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other U.S. military actions, including some that have drawn hundreds of thousands of participants. Earlier this year, the organization was part of a coalition of groups across the country protesting in the days after Trump’s inauguration.
Other protests are planned in the coming week, including a national ‘‘Stop the War on Iran’’ march slated for June 28 in Washington, D.C. Others protested across the globe, including in Japan and Iran.
