Veterans for Peace say:

"Disabled military veterans arrested for peacefully protesting the Iran War at Capitol Hill. A coalition of 200 veterans standing at attention, held red tulips honoring Iranians killed by US bombs, and conducted a flag-folding ceremony symbolizing the US troops killed."

"The veterans demanded Speaker Mike Johnson come meet them to accept the folded flag and pledge to not continue funding of the war. At least 60 were arrested while waiting for Johnson to meet their demands.

"Those arrested included Executive Director of Veterans For Peace Michael McPhearson and Executive Director of @centeronconscience Mike Prysner"
