Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned President Trump’s Iran strikes as an “illegal war of aggression.”
“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,” Mamdani posted on X.

The comments come just days after Hizzoner traveled to the White House for a surprise meeting with the president.
“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,” he said.
Mamdani also issued a message to Iranian New Yorkers — many of whom fled the fanatical ayatollah regime, which has killed thousands of its own citizens in recent months — calling them part of the “fabric of this city.”

Mamdani has long been accused of antisemitism and terrorist sympathies. He infamously sent his “love to the Holy Land five,” during a rap song he released in 2017. The Holy Land Five were a group of non-profit officials convicted of funneling over $12 million to Hamas.
