"The NYPD posted on its official 'X' account that it is closely monitoring events in Iran and the broader Middle East and coordinating with federal and international partners. As a precaution, the department said it will enhance patrols at sensitive locations throughout New York City, including diplomatic missions, cultural centers, religious institutions and other potentially relevant sites."
"Late Saturday, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes on sites in Iran, hitting targets in multiple cities including the capital Tehran. Explosions were reported across major Iranian provinces as well as retaliation by Iran with missiles and drones toward Israeli and U.S. bases. Officials described the offensive as aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear and missile programs and dismantling key military infrastructure."
"This is not the first time New York City police have adjusted operations in response to conflicts involving the U.S. and Iran. In mid-2025, after joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, the NYPD deployed additional resources to protect religious, cultural and diplomatic locations and worked with state police to monitor potential impacts on infrastructure and cyber activity."
The NYPD announced heightened security protocols following coordinated U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iranian targets, including sites in Tehran and multiple provinces. The offensive targeted Iran's nuclear and missile programs and military infrastructure. In response, Iran launched counter-attacks with missiles and drones toward U.S. and Israeli positions. The NYPD is closely monitoring Middle East developments and coordinating with federal and international partners. Enhanced patrols will focus on diplomatic missions, cultural centers, religious institutions, and other sensitive locations throughout New York City. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity. This represents standard protocol during periods of heightened global tensions.
