NY: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, criticized the US strikes on Iran.

He called them a "catastrophic escalation" and declared them illegal. He claimed the strikes were carried out against the will of the Americans.

"Today's military strikes on Iran 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 don't want this. They don't want a new war in pursuit of regime change. They want to end the housing affordability crisis. They want peace," Mamdani said.
