Former New York City mayor Eric Adams blasted out a scorching rebuke to current Democrat Socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani, after the new Muslim mayor condemned the Israel-US airstrikes against Iran on Saturday.
“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 of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace,” Mamdani raged in his post on Saturday.
However, Iranian-Americans in the U.S. DO want this, and are celebrating in the streets over the hope that their home country may finally be free of the brutal Islamic regime.
In a fierce rebuttal on Sunday, Adams wrote:
Iranian Americans in New York and across this country are cheering the United States for finally confronting the savage regime that has tortured, murdered, and terrorized their families for nearly half a century.
The ones screaming in protest are the usual political fanatics on the far left and far right, people so blinded by ideology that they will defend a regime that whips women for showing their hair, executes LGBTQ people from cranes, bankrolls terrorism, and openly calls for America’s destruction.
If you are running interference for that regime, you are not “anti-war.” You are morally hollow. You are choosing tyrants over victims.
New Yorkers stand proudly and unapologetically with the men and women confronting this evil, defending our country and the entire free world.

In response to Adams’ post, many people, mostly Iranian-Americans, are posting footage from the celebrations, as Iranians in the U.S. and around the world hold signs that read, “Thank you, President Trump!”

Several people are also saying they wish Adams was still the mayor of New York City, instead of Mamdani.
I wish you were still our Mayor.

NY made a mistake. Adam’s wasn’t perfect the contrast between these two posts is crazy. Good luck NY, you’re going to need it.

As an Iranian-American, I am so grateful to #USA & #Israel for their wisdom and courage to stand with the people of #Iran to rid the world of this evil regime.#RezaPahlavi is our only trusted leader for #Iran.

A little bit of this on the campaign trail and maybe we wouldn’t be where we are today.
