Protests sparked up in New York City and across the country Saturday in response to the military strikes in Iran.
One that started in Times Square saw a massive turnout.
"It's one appalling thing after another"
At its peak Saturday afternoon, the protest ballooned to nearly 1,000 people. Hundreds of demonstrators from all walks of life mobilized just hours after the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran.
Protesters say it was not only unwarranted, but also the last thing the U.S. should be involved in.
"There is a broad base of society that is against all these things, whether it's the attacks on Minneapolis from ICE or the attacks today in Iran," protest organizer Mike Chrisemer said.
"It's one appalling thing after another, but now a war without consulting Congress?" protester Betsy Robinson said.
"People in Iran have the right to determine for themselves their own future, and it's not up to us to meddle in the affairs of another country's," protest organizer Carla Reyes said.
