The Sacramento demonstration was one of dozens of events planned across the country, from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City. Organizers describe the mobilization as a response to what they call an "unprovoked, illegal war" and are urging an immediate end to U.S. involvement in the conflict.
The president outlined four objectives: destroying Iran's missile capabilities, dismantling its navy, preventing the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon and stopping it from supporting armed groups abroad. He also declined to rule out deploying U.S. ground troops if deemed necessary.
Organizers are calling for an immediate end to military operations and urging people to support anti-war mobilizations.
"We are our own people, and the idea that a nation, my nation, goes in to try to regime change, bomb anybody, I just can't get my head around that," protestor Henry Robinett said.
"As a scholar of Iran, I'm very nervous because the system is built for survival in a war of attrition, and I think that means we could see a lot more deaths before we see a resolution," Zavi said. When it comes to American and Israeli forces killing Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of his top officials," Zavi said she believes "the overwhelming majority of Iranians, inside and outside of Iran are happy that he's gone, but that doesn't mean that they're united on what that's going to mean, or united on their position on how it was conducted."
U.S. officials say more than 1,000 targets were hit in the first 24 hours of the bombing campaign. Iran has since launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, Gulf nations and U.S. facilities in the region.
"It makes me feel like I'm a part of something — people who feel similarly — and that's healing," Robinett said.
