BOSTON —
Dozens of demonstrators both for and against U.S. military intervention in Iran rallied in Massachusetts once again on Saturday.
The Iranian Americans of Boston group gathered at Copley Square in Boston, emphasizing their support for the people of Iran amid a worsening economic crisis.
“After this mission is over, the whole region – the Middle East – will be stable. It means a safer world, it means less terrorist attacks,” said Zara Vahramian.
Demonstrators held Iranian flags and signs that said, “Thanks U.S. Army,” and “Iran Will Rise.”
The group said the best outcome for the Iranian people is to topple the Islamic Republic.
Other Iranian Americans disagree.
In Cambridge, the Massachusetts Peace Action Education fund organized a conference to strategize peaceful solutions to the conflicts in Gaza and Iran, as well as the wider Middle East.
“What about Syria, what is happening in Syria today?” said Bahar Sharafi. “What is happening in Libya today? There’s no record in history of the U.S. coming in, liberating a people, and just everything is like puppies and rainbows from then on.”
Supporters of U.S. involvement in Iran argued that there’s no viable alternative to military action to defeat the current regime.
Peace activists tell NewsCenter 5 they fear the outcome from the violence could be worse than anything in recent memory due to what they see as the goal of the operation.
Both rallies come as President Donald Trump threatened to hit Iran harder if President Masoud Pezeshkian refuses to surrender.
