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

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.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Bexar County Democrats also stressed the lack of popular support for military intervention in Iran.<\/p>\n

“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.” <\/p>\n

Many state and national officials have commended President Trump on his actions, voicing their support for all efforts to eliminate Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n

Texas Senator John Cornyn issued a statement on X, praising the president\u2019s decision to bomb Iran, saying, \u201cPresident Trump has made the courageous and correct decision to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Texas Governor Greg Abbott voiced his support for the strikes and the president’s broader initiative.<\/p>\n
