The NYPD is ramping up security measures across New York City in response to U.S. bombings of three nuclear sites in Iran on June 21. This deployment, termed a precautionary measure, involves closer monitoring of religious, cultural, and diplomatic areas. U.S. officials reported that American B-2 bombers executed strikes on the Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan sites, which were pre-evacuated, as per Iranian sources. The Fordow facility's depth complicates potential strikes from Israel, indicating the serious implications of these military actions on international relations and local security.
"We're tracking the situation unfolding in Iran. Out of an abundance of caution, we're deploying additional resources to religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites across NYC and coordinating with our federal partners."
"The Fordow site that was attacked was built deep into the mountains. Main halls were an estimated 80 to 90 meters beneath the ground - safe from any aerial bomb known to be possessed by Israel."
