Massive Protests Across America Over Iran War and Rising Inflation
Washington: The United States witnessed massive protests called "No Kings" on Saturday. Millions took to the streets to voice their opposition to President Donald Trump's policies, rising inflation, and the ongoing conflict with Iran. These protests spanned from major cities to small towns, attracting people from all walks of life.
The ongoing conflict in West Asia has been raging for more than a month, raising global concern. Iran's retaliatory strikes, coupled with attacks by the US and Israel, have further exacerbated the situation. In response, Americans questioned the government's war policy and the domestic economic situation. Inflation, fuel prices, and economic pressures were also key factors in the protests.
