American demonstrators reject any war with Iran

Washington, New York, and other American cities witnessed on Saturday massive demonstrations demanding the withdrawal of American troops from the Middle East and rejecting any war with Iran.

The demonstrators expressed their strong opposition to the terrorist crime committed by the US administration in the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassim Soleimani, the Quds Force Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the Deputy Head of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces.

The demonstrators who crowded in front of the White House called for the immediate withdrawal of American forces from Iraq and the rejection of the war on Iran and the sanctions imposed on it, according to Agence France Press.

In front of the White House, the demonstrators chanted slogans confirming the refusal of Washington’s entry with a “ new war in the Middle East”. The demonstrators headed to the American President Donald Trump Hotel near the presidential residence, condemning his crime.

One of the demonstrators held a sign saying  “ if you want to deflect attention from something, you have to wage war”, referring to the attempts of  Trump to fabricate a war with Iran in order to draw the Americans’ attention to external issues far from the cases of his interrogation in Congress which aimed at impeaching him.

Another American demonstrator expressed concern about the possibility of a war with Iran, wondering about the benefit of spending billions of dollars to wage wars similar to the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan.

Other protesters also gathered in New York Times Square and in front of the Trump Tower in Chicago and Los Angeles and demanded  that there be no war against Iran and the withdrawal of  American soldiers from Iraq.

“War is not a strategy to win a new presidential term,” one of the posters said.
