"For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests."
"As is our protocol and out of an abundance of caution, we will be enhancing patrols to sensitive locations throughout the city, including diplomatic, cultural, religious, and other relevant sites."
"New York City is among the top targets of terrorism in the U.S. due to its dense population and its position as the unofficial capital of American financial and media industries. The United Nations is also based in Manhattan."
The United States and Israel conducted a large-scale military operation against Iran following weeks of escalating tensions. President Trump characterized the campaign as "massive and ongoing," citing Iran's refusal to abandon its nuclear ambitions as justification. The NYPD responded by implementing enhanced security protocols, increasing patrols at sensitive locations including diplomatic, cultural, and religious sites throughout New York City. This heightened security reflects the city's status as a prime terrorism target due to its dense population, role as a financial and media hub, and the presence of United Nations headquarters. The military strikes concluded days of U.S.-Iran negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program.
