Anti-war protesters swarmed downtown Iowa City Saturday as tensions with Iran continue to escalate.
The group Veterans for Peace organized the event, which began on the Ped Mall at 1pm. Over 100 people gathered to hear various speakers before the group marched to the nearby Pentacrest.
The speakers argued that the United States has already spent tens of billions of dollars on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some argued that President Trump is only escalating the situation to draw away from his current impeachment.
