WASHINGTON — Surrounded by a sea of white, green, and red, hundreds of Iranian protesters waved the Iranian flag on their march to Farragut Square Saturday afternoon to celebrate the fall of the Iranian regime. Two blocks over, anti-war protesters held signs calling for no new wars in the Middle East.
Many demonstrators at the National Solidarity Group of Iran’s anti-regime rally praised President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their initiation of the war, and for killing Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei last week.
At the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s “Stop the War on Iran” protest, organizers condemned the Trump administration for prioritizing foreign conflicts over the needs of the American people.
“Money for jobs and education. Not for war and occupation,” protesters chanted.
