Anti-War Protesters March Through Downtown Sacramento Days After US Drone Strike Kills Iranian General

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A group of nearly 100 anti-war protestors marched through the streets of downtown Sacramento on Saturday just days after a drone strike ordered by President Donald Trump killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani on Thursday.

Sacramento police said the event started at 4 p.m. and was a peaceful protest with no arrests or incidents.

The protesters spent some time near the Golden 1 Center just before 6 p.m. and remained actively moving through the downtown area. As of 6:30 p.m., the protest has ended.

The drone strike has sparked fears the action could lead to a war between Iran and the United States.

Activists assembled across the country with protests underway in cities like San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C., and Denver.
