Demonstrators held three rallies in Vermont Thursday night to protest President Donald Trump's actions in ordering the drone strike that killed a top Iranian general last week.

Protesters say that the President acted reckless and without the consent of Congress and that his actions escalated tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

"I think that our President has made very un-calculated moves," said Kelly Adams with the group Essex Resists. "I'm really concerned about what it's going to set in motion. I have school-age children and I want them to live in a world that does not involve World War III, I'm very, very concerned about what's going on right now."

Some we spoke with say Trump's actions were justified and necessary in order to kill a known terrorist to the United States. Gary Dillon of Waterbury says the President made the right decision in the limited window of opportunity that he had.

"At some point, even though [Soleimani] may have been a general, you have to say enough is enough, and maybe there is some fallout after his assassination," Dillon said. "But at least we can look ourselves in the eye and say, 'You know what, we did the right thing, we took out a terrorist, and now we'll deal with the next one.'"

Tensions with Iran appear to be easing after there were no casualties from the missiles that hit two U.S. bases in Iraq this week, but a commander for Iran's Revolutionary Guards warns that the Islamic Republic would take harsher revenge.
