Where Are the Iran War Protests?
Despite a wildly unpopular war with Iran, a mass protest movement for peace hasn’t materialized — at least in the ways we’ve been taught to recognize. The post Where Are the Iran War Protests? appeared first on The Intercept .
In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, America clamored for vengeance. A majority of citizens backed military action against Afghanistan, even as the conflict brought devastation to countries worldwide. Three decades later, the Iran War has met a similarly muted response from protesters. Despite the war's staggering toll on American families and the heavy financial burden, there are no large-scale demonstrations against the Trump administration's actions.
Even veterans and military families have joined protests, yet the scale of the opposition has not matched that of the Iraq War.
