And so if we have an opportunity to take out this regime, and look, my hope is we see a new government in Iran that wants to be friends with America.
That would make this country massively safer.
Removing these psychopaths from power and replacing them with anything resembling a normal government would massively improve the safety of every American.
Yeah.
So so today.
Comrade Mondami put out a statement that I want to read to you.
Today's military strikes on Iran, carried out by the United States and Israel, mark a catastrophic escalation of 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 of regime change.
They want relief from the affordability crisis.
They want peace.
I am focused on making sure every New Yorker is safe.
I've been in contact with our police commissioner and emergency management officials.
We are taking proactive,
Uh, steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of conscious caution.
Additionally, 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.
Look, this is Comrade Mondami cheering for the Ayatollah.
