Following President Donald Trump‘s air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has ordered the NYPD to “increase presence around religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites” around all 5 NYC boroughs, plus New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) calls for Trump’s impeachment.
As we previously shared, on Saturday (June 21), Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform and told his followers that he ordered air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. He wrote:
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
When Trump later addressed the nation from the White House, he in part stated:
“The strikes were a spectacular nuclear success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace … If they do not, future attacks will be far greater, and a lot easier. For forty years, Iran has been saying, ‘Death to America,’ death to Israel.”
Reacting to Donald Trump’s three strikes in Iran, NYC Mayor Eric Adams posted on X:
“Learning of the U.S. bombing of three sites in Iran. While we await more details from our federal partners, we’ve ordered the NYPD to increase its presence around religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites throughout the five boroughs. Thinking about our large Persian population here in NYC at this time.”
Meanwhile, AOC wrote on X:
“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
Also, Minority Leader of the U.S House of Representatives Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) spoke out and condemned Trump. He wrote on social media:
“Donald Trump ran for President promising to end wars, not start new ones. Today’s unconstitutional military action represents a new, dark chapter in his endless series of betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper Into chaos. In a city as global as ours, the impacts of war are felt deeply here at home.
I am thinking of the New Yorkers with loved ones in harm’s way. While Donald Trump bears immediate responsibility for this illegal escalation, these actions are the result of a political establishment that would rather spend trillions of dollars on weapons than lift millions out of poverty, launch endless wars while silencing calls for peace, and fearmonger about outsiders while billionaires hollow out our democracy from within. For Americans middle aged and younger, this is all we have known. We cannot accept it any longer.”
