The United States and Israel carried out a joint military strike against Iran on February 28, targeting Iranian military bases and government-linked facilities.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly criticized the attacks, calling them an “illegal war of aggression.”
Mamdani shared a post on his official X account, expressing concern over civilian casualties and the broader consequences of the strikes.
He added that most Americans want peace rather than further conflict, “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.”
Mamdani reassured residents of New York City that his administration is taking proactive measures to protect all communities, particularly Iranian New Yorkers.
However, his statement drew a mix of support and criticism from the public, with some questioning his timing and priorities.
