DCATA had been preparing for a US strike against Iran for weeks, connecting organizations in advance to mobilize within 24 hours of a strike. 32 organizations demanded, “No war with Iran!” with DCATA at the helm. A few hundred people started gathering towards Lafayette Square, as close as you can get to the White House due to the barricades, at the start of the rally.

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement of the International League of Peoples’ Struggle.

The International League of Peoples’ Struggle strongly condemns the resumption of U.S.– Zionist bombings against Iran. This is yet another blatant aggression by U.S. imperialism and its Zionist attack dogs against an independent nation in West Asia that has stood against their rule for 47 years.
