New York Mayor Mamdani condemns US and Israeli attacks on Iran
On February 28, New York Mayor Zahran Mamdani condemned the attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran.
"Today's military strikes against Iran by the United States and Israel mark a catastrophic escalation of the illegal war of aggression. Bombing of cities. Killing of civilians. Opening of a new theater of military operations. The Americans don't want this," the mayor said on the social network X (ex. Twitter).
Mamdani noted that the administration is now focused on ensuring the safety of the city's residents, and measures are being taken to strengthen patrols and coordination between departments. He added that Iranians living in New York are not in danger and, despite what is happening, they will remain safe.
Israel attacked Iran on the morning of February 28. Also, the American leader Donald Trump announced the beginning of a US military operation against Iran. Military installations in western Iran, the residence of the country's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as an elementary school in the city of Minab were hit.
Later, Iran fired rockets towards Israel. Four US military bases in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were attacked, as well as the US Fifth Fleet service center.
At the same time, the IDF launched a massive airstrike on military installations in western Iran. In addition, 70,000 Israeli reservists were called up for military service. In the city of Bushehr, where the Bushehr NPP is located, two facilities were attacked by a rocket. Rosatom said that the NPP continues to operate normally.
