SAN ANTONIO – Protestors have taken to the streets in the wake of President Trump ordering strikes targeting Iran’s alleged nuclear facilities.

At Noon on Sunday, protestors gathered at La Antorcha de la Amistad (The Torch of Friendship) and voiced their outrage at the strikes, with one banner reading ‘No US-Israeli War on Iran.’

Bexar County Democrats released a statement on the strikes, as well as the protest, calling out the U.S. Congress for their perceived apathy to the situation.

“Donald Trump sent U.S. bombers to attack Iran last night,” said Bexar County Democrats. “Why? Because we have learned since his re-election that he is not a statesman: He believes problems are solved by recklessly using brute force to bend people to his will. And because Congress has abdicated their responsibility of advice and consent to the President.”

Bexar County Democrats also stressed the lack of popular support for military intervention in Iran.

“In recent polls, only 16% of Americans supported a war with Iran,” said Bexar County Democrats. “But Congress appears to be disinterested in the wishes of their constituents.”

Texas Senator John Cornyn issued a statement on X, praising the president’s decision to bomb Iran, saying, “President Trump has made the courageous and correct decision to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott voiced his support for the strikes and the president’s broader initiative.
