Most people saw footage of Iranians cheering in the streets after President Trump took out Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani saw America’s guilt. Instead of acknowledging what Iranians were celebrating, his first public words framed the strike as “illegal aggression.”
America as the Aggressor
Mamdani called the strike a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. He warned about bombing cities and civilian deaths. The mayor insisted Americans do not want another war and folded in the affordability crisis. As if Tehran and grocery bills occupy the same lane.
What he did not mention was the regime’s method of governance. Public executions. Protesters shot at close range. Women beaten for defiance. Dissidents disappearing into prisons. Entire cities cut off from the world to prevent resistance.
