Apparently, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani did not hear the shouts of happiness and joy coming from the people of Iran when they learned of the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. The murderous regime in Tehran doesn’t bother him, or his fellow Islamoleftists of the Squad, including Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It’s those who want to help bring an end to that regime who infuriate him. More on Mamdani, who becomes more intolerable with his every remark on Israel, the Arabs, and Iran, can be found here: “NYC Mayor Mamdani condemns US-Israel strikes on Iran as ‘illegal war of aggression,’” Jerusalem Post, February 28, 2026:
New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani condemned the US-Israel military strikes on Iran on Saturday, calling them “a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression” in a public statement and X post.
In the statement, Mamdani said the strikes marked “a catastrophic escalation,” adding that “Americans do not want this,” and arguing that the public wants “relief from the affordability crisis” and “peace.”…
Mamdani has no quarrel with the regime in Tehran that recently murdered 36,500 of its own people, and wounded hundreds of thousands more. He didn’t mind the fact that the same Iranian soldiers who gunned down those people then demanded that their grieving relatives pay up to $20,000 in order to have their bodies returned to them. Mamdani doesn’t hear the screams from the torture house of Evin Prison, doesn’t see in his mind’s eye the hanging of homosexuals from cranes to make sure everyone gets a good look, pays no attention to the girls beaten to death by the religious police for failing to properly arrange their hijabs, such as the late Mahsa Amini.
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…

Mamdani thinks Americans can’t hold two thoughts in their heads at the same time. Apparently it’s not possible, in his view, to worry about the Iranian economy — the “affordability crisis” has reached almost every Iranian — and at the same time to want to rescue 90 million Iranians from a monstrous regime that has tormented them for 47 years.
Mamdani says: “I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe.” Well, why not start by providing security at every synagogue and Jewish school in New York, given the epidemic of antisemitism in the city, instead of for just a few dozen of the well-connected schools and synagogues, as is currently the case? Where were the police when a man rammed his car repeatedly into the world headquarters of Chabad at 770 Eastern Parkway, in Brooklyn? Where are the police when in Jewish neighborhoods, physical attacks on Jews keep increasing? What does Mayor Mamdani intend to do about safety for Jews in the city when the number of antisemitic attacks rose from 2024 to 2025 by 182%? How many times has Mayor Mamdani visited synagogues to reassure Jews on measures his office has taken to protect their houses of worship?
When this Iranian regime finally deliquesces, and Iranians can fully speak their mind, they will have some well-chosen words for those who, like Zohran Mamdani, tried to stop the Americans and Israelis from battering their tormentors.
Mamdani did want to reassure, not Jews, but Iranians: “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.”
What Zohran Mamdani does not appear to realize is that those Iranian New Yorkers for whom he feigns such concern, and who have his sympathy at this “difficult moment,” are delighted with the American and Israeli strikes on Iran; they are cheering the death of the supreme leader and waiting impatiently for destruction to be rained down on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps bezonians sufficient to lead to the collapse of the regime. And they are horrified at the mayor’s opposition to the war that they know is the only way to bring freedom to Iranians.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the strikes as “unlawful.” Why are they “unlawful”? Because she insists that the president had to obtain prior approval from Congress. But had he done so, the element of surprise, so critical to the success of the mission, would have been lost. There would have been no possibility of killing, “within one minute” at the beginning of the war, forty of the most senior leaders.
AOC also said: “This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.” Now, in the third day of the war, does it look as if it is “catastrophic” for the United States? Isn’t it, in fact, turning out to be “catastrophic” only for Iran, with forty of its most senior leaders, both civilian and military, killed, its IRGC bases bombed, its anti-missile defenses degraded, its navy sunk, its ballistic missile arsenals bombed to smithereens, and its nuclear sites further degraded? In addition, the mad-dog reaction of the Iranians, who have let loose missile strikes on all of its neighbors — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman — has now turned them all into enraged enemies of the Islamic Republic.
llhan Omar (D-Minnesota) also piled on the president, “accusing Trump of “unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States.”
Washington had concluded that Iran’s ballistic missiles were indeed an “imminent threat” to the American bases spread all over the Middle East; Iran certainly promised to “avenge” the American attack on Iran on June 22, and there was every reason to believe them. As for the claim that Washington lacks a clear objective, Ilhan Omar is wrong. The Americans have said they wish to achieve four things in this war with Iran: first, an end to Iran’s ballistic missile production and the destruction of its present stock of those missiles, which could allow Iran to hit American bases everywhere in the region; second, a complete end to Iran’s nuclear program; third, an end to Iran’s support for terror groups, including Hamas and, especially, Hezbollah; fourth, regime change in Teheran. Clear objectives, indeed.
Now that Mamdani has deplored the war that the Americans and Israelis launched on Iran, showing his support for the Islamofascists who have ruled that country for 47 years, and made life miserable for so many Iranians, one wonders how many of his supporters in New York City will stick by him, no matter what evil he endorses, and how many will at last see him in a new, most unfavorable light.
