Former New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams<\/a> sounded off against his successor, Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and politicians on both fringes of the political spectrum for their knee-jerk reaction to the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n

Adams has not been shy about attacking people within his own party, including Kamala Harris<\/a>, in a recent volley, and on Sunday addressed what he suggested could be construed as hypocritical sympathy for the Iranian dictatorship rather than the actual will of the oppressed Iranian people.<\/p>\n

He said Iranian Americans living in New York<\/a> are cheering not protesting the U.S. for “finally confronting the savage regime that has tortured, murdered, and terrorized their families for nearly half a century.”<\/p>\n

“The ones screaming in protest are the usual political fanatics on the far left and far right, people so blinded by ideology that they will defend a regime that whips women for showing their hair, executes LGBTQ people from cranes, bankrolls terrorism, and openly calls for America\u2019s destruction,” Adams said.<\/p>\n

“If you are running interference for that regime, you are not \u2018anti-war,\u2019 you are morally hollow,” Adams said, going on to share images of New Yorkers, including children, waving Iranian flags.<\/p>\n

Adams posted the statement in response to Mamdani\u2019s own critical view<\/a> of the military action, in which the socialist said, “Americans do not want this\u2026 You are choosing tyrants over victims.”<\/p>\n

“Today\u2019s military strikes\u2026 mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war,” Mamdani said.<\/p>\n

“They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani then addressed Iranian American New Yorkers directly, telling them they are the “fabric of this city” and that they will be “safe here.”<\/p>\n

Adams\u2019 critique of Mamdani \u2013 and the far-left and far-right \u2013 came following his own lengthier commentary on the Iran matter, in which he celebrated the death of Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei.<\/p>\n

“While the military operation continues and the regime\u2019s ultimate fate remains uncertain, the passing of a man who ruled through fear, repression, and brutality cannot be ignored,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We also stand with the Iranian people, who have endured so much and long for dignity, liberty, and a future free from tyranny. New York is home to a vibrant Iranian community. I know how long you have hoped and prayed for the freedom of your loved ones in Iran. Be assured that the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers stand with you tonight.”<\/p>\n

Adams received bipartisan praise, including from former Secretary of Defense Gen. James \u2018Mad Dog\u2019 Mattis, Ret.<\/p>\n

“Many Iranian Americans support the U.S. for taking action against Iran\u2019s brutal regime<\/a>, while the loudest critics are ideological extremists defending tyranny over victims. New Yorkers stand with those confronting this evil and protecting freedom,” Mattis said, adding that Khamenei\u2019s death is a “significant moment” but the focus must remain on support for U.S. forces.<\/p>\n

Adams\u2019 comments drew global reaction as people responded on X with videos of street celebrations in Washington, Berlin<\/a>, Sydney, and beyond, with some wishing the ex-mayor had been as cogent on the campaign trail and thereby prevented Mamdani\u2019s rise.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani\u2019s office for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
