New York on alert after U.S. launched strikes on Iran
The Brief The NYPD has deployed additional resources to religious, cultural and diplomatic sites across New York City after the U.S. military struck three Iranian nuclear sites. New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch met with international liaisons to discuss how the situation could have repercussions on the city. New York Governor Kathy Hochul wrote in a post on X that the "New York State Police are working to protect at-risk sites and fight cyberattacks." NEW YORK CITY - United States military forces launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites – New York City is on full alert as a response. What they're saying The New York Police Department (NYPD) has deployed additional resources to religious, cultural and diplomatic sites across New York City after the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran. The NYPD is also coordinating with its federal partners to monitor for any potential local impacts the situation could lead to. New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch met with international liaisons to discuss how the situation in the Middle East could have repercussions on the city. Adams confirmed the NYPD's initial response statement, reiterating that police presence has been increased at religious, cultural and diplomatic sites "throughout the five boroughs." New York Governor Kathy Hochul wrote in a post on X that the "New York State Police are working to protect at-risk sites and fight cyberattacks." What we know President Donald Trump said yesterday, June 21, that the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel's effort to decapitate the country's nuclear program. The U.S. attacks came after a week of open conflict between Israel and Iran, sparked by Israel's sudden barrage of attacks against Iran's nuclear and military structure. Trump addressed the United States last night, saying the sites were "completely and fully obliterated" and warned Tehran against retaliation.

Mayor Adams expected to hold re-election campaign kickoff event Thursday: ‘Major announcement'
Mayor Eric Adams is expected to hold a re-election campaign kickoff event Thursday, two days after the city's Democratic mayoral primaries close. Hizzoner will make a 'major announcement about the future of his re-election campaign' at the event, according to sources from his campaign. The announcement will be held on the steps of City Hall at noon and will include 'hundreds' of supporters, sources said. Mayor Eric Adams is holding an event for a 'major announcement' about his re-election bid on Thursday William Farrington Adams, 64, will be running for re-election as an independent following a tumultuous year in office, which saw him accused of corruption before the historic case was dropped by the Trump administration. He blamed the long duration of the 'bogus' case for tanking any hopes of campaigning for the primary and still insists he is a Democrat, but has been indicating a split from the party for several months. The city's Democratic primary will close Tuesday, with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Democratic socialist Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani battling out for the nomination amidst a large field of contenders. Adams is running on the line 'safe streets, affordable city,' arguing that those are the two areas New Yorkers are most concerned about. 'Those are the issues that are important to New Yorkers,' Adams told 1010Wins in April. 'They want a safe city. They want an affordable city. And I want them to know that is what I produced for them.' An Adams aide also may have violated city laws while publicizing the Thursday event after they blasted out a message promoting it from their government email, the Daily News reported. Local law prohibits city employees from using municipal resources for 'political activity,' the city's Conflicts of Interest Board states. The aide later told the Daily News they 'accidentally' sent the message from the wrong email account while multitasking.

Iran bombing becomes a major topic of discussion among NYC Democratic mayoral primary candidates
The New York City metropolitan area has the largest Jewish population outside Israel, so it is not surprising that the United States' bombing of Iran became topic number one Sunday for Mayor Eric Adams and the Democrats who want to replace him. What was surprising was the warning from Adams and others that the decision to bomb Iran could have repercussions nearly 6,400 miles away here in the five boroughs. Sleeper cells on the minds of the mayor and NYPD leaders The mayor is taking seriously warnings from Washington that Iran could activate sleeper cells here to seek retribution for the bombings. "You're always concerned about sleeper cells," Adams said. "We're going to ensure that we focus on sleeper cells." Rebecca Weiner, the NYPD's commissioner of intelligence and counter terrorism, told CBS News New York's Marcia Kramer her agency has been on alert for days. "We are doubling down on our efforts. We are doubling down, reaching out to partners internationally, federally, doubling down on all the monitoring that we are doing," Weiner said. The mayor said there are currently no credible threats and he wants the deputy commissioner to be proactive -- not reactive. Andrew Cuomo issues warning to New Yorkers The bombing became the top topic of discussion on the Democratic mayoral primary trail on Sunday. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo also warned of something happening here. "As a New Yorker, my natural instinct, as a former governor, former HUD secretary, New York should get ready for possible reprisal from Iran," Cuomo said. Like many of the other candidates, Cuomo took issue with President Trump ordering the attack on Iran without consulting Congress but supported the end result. "I think the world is a safer place without Iran having nuclear weapons, yes," Cuomo said. Other candidates take issue with Trump's decision making Queens Assemblyman and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who has faced charges he has insufficiently supported the Jewish state, said of Trump's actions, "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." "Deeply troubling. I mean, unconstitutional. It's going to escalate the risks of war and violence and death for Iranians, for Israelis and for Americans," City Comptroller Brad Lander said. "War Powers Act requires congressional approval, which he did not get." "They're concerned that this president has undergone a military strike without authorization of Congress. We all know that this decision is typically made by Congress, so once again this president is overstepping his boundaries and totally disregarding the constitution," City Council President Adrienne Adams said. With the primary just two days away, the candidates had full slates of appearances to get their voters to the polls. Early voting has been robust, but it will all come down to the turnout on Tuesday.
