Birmingham Protest: 'New War' Fears in Middle East

0:00In Birmingham, it's March 1st, here's what is happening. On Saturday, folks gathered in Birmingham, Alabama's 5-point South area to protest recent United States and Israeli military strikes against Iran. The demonstrators voiced strong worries about growing tensions across the Middle East. The event came together quickly through posts on social media, pulling in a crowd with signs and flags to make their point clear. Among them was Shelley Douglas, a dedicated protester who's held twice weekly vigils in that same spot since before the September 11th, 2, 2001 attacks. Douglas pointed out how these strikes kicked off what feels like a sudden new war, endangering American lives while fueling chaos in the region. She drew from her own time in Iraq, right after the United States invasion there, arguing that such bombings and targeted killings only deepen problems, and failed to build lasting peace.
