Protesters Rally Against Iran Strike in St. Petersburg

0:00In Tampa Bay, it's March 1st, and here's what is going on. Dozens of people gathered at Williams Park in St. Petersburg on Saturday to protest a US and Israeli strike on Iran. President Donald Trump announced the attack, killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Kaminay. Organizers from the party for socialism and liberation called it an unprovoked act of war. They pointed to recent US moves in places like Venezuela and Cuba as part of a pattern. Protesters voiced strong anger and worry about endless conflicts draining resources. One said trillions of dollars on war could fund social programs instead. Another described a sense of deja vu from past US interventions. Signs at the rally rejected another Middle East war, fresh off two decades in Afghanistan and the fight in Iraq. A St. Petersburg City Council member showed up to stand in solidarity and amplify local voices. More protests are planned across the area in the coming days as tensions rise.
