Protesters in US Rally Against Prospect of War With Iran

Agence France-Presse

   WASHINGTON - Demonstrators chanting "No war on Iran" rallied Saturday
   in Washington, New York and other U.S. cities to protest the
   assassination of a top Iranian military commander in a U.S. drone
   strike.
   Outside the White House, around 200 people gathered as part of a wave
   of rallies called by left-leaning organizations. They chanted slogans
   including, "No justice, no peace, U.S. out of the Middle East."
   Organizers said demonstrations were convened in 70 U.S. cities to
   denounce the killing of General Qassem Soleimani early Friday in
   Baghdad on orders from President Donald Trump. The attack has prompted
   fears of a major conflagration in the Middle East.
   "We will not allow our country to be led into another reckless war,"
   one speaker outside the White House said.
