US strikes in Iran have prompted reactions around the Bay Area, from lawmakers speaking out to demonstrators gathering.<\/p>\n
In San Francisco, a coalition group came together to rally for about an hour outside the federal building before marching towards Market Street. They say they\u2019re joining people in other cities opposed to strikes launched in Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessarily surprising we been going to bed every night wondering if it\u2019s going to happen tomorrow, but still there is some level of shock and we knew we had to immediately call this emergency action and get people out because I think a lot of people are really angry,\u201d Yasmine with the Party for Socialism and Liberation said.<\/p>\n
In Berkeley, a small group of demonstrators called for democracy in Iran. <\/p>\n
Protesters gathered on the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Bancroft Way right outside Cal Campus. They say have mixed feelings about the overnight missile strikes by the US and Israel; while they never wanted Iran to be attacked in the way as it was overnight, they say this also presents Iranians an opportunity they’ve never had before.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee, people of Iran, they don’t want to go back to Shah’s dictatorship. They do not want this regime. That’s why they\u2019ve been saying No to Shah. No to Mullah. Only Democracy by the Iranian people,\u201d one of the demonstrators said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US strikes in Iran have prompted reactions around the Bay Area, from lawmakers speaking out to demonstrators gathering.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":198763,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[19378,340,101,103,102,104,106,105,435],"class_list":{"0":"post-198762","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-iran","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-san-francisco","11":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","12":"tag-san-francisco-news","13":"tag-sf","14":"tag-sf-headlines","15":"tag-sf-news","16":"tag-united-states"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
