  "account": "The Iran War, which began under the Trump administration, has been a highly contentious and unpopular conflict. In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, public approval for attacking Afghanistan was high, with 9 out of 10 Americans wanting to take action. However, the war has resulted in devastating consequences, including death and destruction across various countries, including Iran. By 2013, a CNN/ORC poll found that 82 percent of Americans opposed the Afghanistan War, marking the highest recorded opposition for any major American conflict in modern history. Despite this widespread opposition, protests against the war have largely been absent, with few seeking out the original 2001 protesters for expert foreign policy advice. Instead, those who opposed the war have often been dismissed or labeled as irrelevant. Today, the Iran War continues to have a significant impact on the daily lives of Americans, with rising fuel and heating costs, as well as a projected final price tag of trillions of dollars for military operations. Despite the opposition, there has been no significant resurgence of large-scale protests against the war, leading some to question whether the old ways of protest are effective in the modern era.",
  "summary": "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 .",
