"Today's military strikes on Iran carried out by the United States and Israel mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace."
"Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here."
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized military strikes against Iran conducted by the United States and Israel, characterizing them as catastrophic escalation and illegal war of aggression involving bombing cities, killing civilians, and opening new theaters of war. Mamdani stated Americans oppose additional wars pursuing regime change, instead prioritizing affordability crisis relief and peace. He announced enhanced city safety measures including increased inter-agency coordination and patrols at sensitive locations. Mamdani addressed Iranian New Yorkers directly, affirming their integral role in the city as neighbors, business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders, assuring their safety. His criticism followed a Thursday meeting with Trump where Mamdani presented mock newspaper covers.
