In a direct message to Iranian New Yorkers, Mamdani said, “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.”

“You remained silent while our people were slaughtered and hunted like animals by Islamic Republic terrorists. You did not say a word.
