Anti-war protest scheduled in Philly tonight; Latest on Trump and Iran

After a barrage of social media threats from the President this week, which sparked emergency protests across the country, a two-week ceasefire has been reached between the U.S. and Iran.

Still, anti-war protests are continuing to pop up in U.S. cities, including in Philadelphia.

Protest in Philadelphia today. April 8 day of action

Another protest has been planned outside of City Hall tonight, April 8, according to the schedule listed on StopTrumpsWar.org, a shoot-off initiative of the ANSWER Coalition.

The 7 p.m. demonstration is a part of a national day of action planned by the coalition to show a desire to end the Iran war and express contempt for the U.S. president.

What did Trump say about Iran?

The president has been vocal, and explicit, online when referencing the war in Iran.

On Easter Sunday, Trump posted the following threats: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. ... There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."

The president had given Tehran until 8 p.m. on Tuesday to open the Strait of Hormuz. The administration has not said what would happen at 8 p.m., the ceasefire and two-week deadline extension announced just before the ultimatum deadline approached on Tuesday.
