纽约市社会主义市长佐兰·曼达尼因谴责美国对伊朗发动袭击（导致伊朗最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊被杀）的帖子，在社交媒体上遭遇保守派的强烈批评。
周六，在美国和以色列对伊朗发动联合打击之际，曼达尼在X平台上发文抨击特朗普政府的决定，该帖子的浏览量约为2000万次。
“今天美国和以色列对伊朗发动的军事打击，标志着这场非法侵略战争的灾难性升级，”曼达尼写道。
“轰炸城市、杀害平民、开启新的战争战场。美国人不想要这个。他们不想为了政权更迭而发动另一场战争。”
曼达尼表示，美国人更希望“摆脱经济负担危机”，之后才直接向纽约市的伊朗人发声。
“你们是这座城市的组成部分——你们是我们的邻居、小企业主、学生、艺术家、工人和社区领袖，”曼达尼说。“在这里你们会很安全。”
这篇帖子迅速遭到保守派人士的抨击，他们认为曼达尼的回应似乎对伊朗残暴政权表示同情，并指出他对近年来被杀害的伊朗抗议者缺乏公开反应。
“同志市长正在支持阿亚图拉，”共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹在X平台上发帖称，“他们可以一起欢呼。”
支持伊朗协议的奥巴马政府官员对特朗普袭击的回应引发网上愤怒：“这次别掺和”
“你有没有说过任何亲美的话？”福克斯新闻主持人布莱恩·基尔梅德在X平台上发帖。“你认识任何伊朗人吗？他们恨[@fr_Khamenei]，他们庆祝他的死亡，你也应该庆祝他的死亡！他杀死了数千名美国人，刚刚又杀害了3万名伊朗人，你对此连一个字都没说吗？你太丢人了！请辞职。”
“听着像你这样的人（曼达尼），我在纽约感觉不安全，你却对一个在不到24小时内杀害了3万多名手无寸铁的伊朗人的政权表示同情，”伊朗裔美国记者马西·阿林贾德在X平台上发文。
“我们伊朗人不会让你就战争问题对我们说教，而你却对伊斯兰共和国向街头女学生开枪并致1万多人失明一事一言不发。当我祖国的妇女因摘下头巾而被伊斯兰安全部队监禁和强奸时，你却忙着庆祝头巾。
“现在你又找到声音来为这个政权辩护？不。我不会让你占据道德高地。伊朗人民想要自由。当他们需要团结时，你在哪里？”

“你怎么能不分善恶？”亿万富翁对冲基金经理比尔·阿克曼在X平台上发文。“为什么这对你来说这么难？”
“一位市长任命自己为美国外交政策的良知，而他的选民在上班路上还要跨过垃圾，这需要一种特殊的厚颜无耻或无知，”共和党众议员南希·梅斯在X平台上发文。“历史不会记住他的‘勇敢’，甚至根本不会记住他。”
“纽约的伊朗人今天很激动，一眼就看穿了你，”共和党纽约市议会女议员维基·帕拉迪诺在X平台上发文。
“当科威特、沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔、土耳其、阿联酋、巴林都支持今天这个旨在铲除世界头号恐怖主义资助者的行动时，纽约市市长佐兰·曼达尼却在为伊朗摇旗呐喊，”共和党纽约市议会女议员伊娜·韦尔尼科夫在X平台上发文。
福克斯新闻数字频道联系了曼达尼的办公室寻求置评。
在曼达尼发布帖子后不久，特朗普总统和以色列官员宣布，此次军事行动导致哈梅内伊死亡。
以色列领导人证实，周六早些时候，在德黑兰市中心发动的定向打击中，哈梅内伊的住所和办公室化为一片废墟。
“哈梅内伊是当代中东任职时间最长的独裁者。他能做到这一点并非靠赌博，而是作为一名意识形态分子，他无情地追求其意识形态的维护和保护，常常是前进两步、后退一步，”FDD伊朗项目高级主任贝纳姆·本·塔莱布卢告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

Mamdani’s response to Trump’s Iran strike sparks conservative backlash: ‘Rooting for the ayatollah’
Published February 28, 2026 9:26pm EST
New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing blowback from conservatives on social media over his post condemning the U.S. attack on Iran that led to the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
On Saturday, as a joint strike on Iran by the United States and Israel was developing, Mamdani blasted the Trump administration’s decision in a post on X that has been viewed roughly 20 million times.
“Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression,” Mamdani wrote.
“Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change.”
Mamdani said Americans prefer “relief from the affordability crisis” before speaking directly to Iranians in New York City.
“You are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders,” Mamdani said. “You will be safe here.”
The post was quickly slammed by conservatives on social media making the case that Mamdani’s response appeared sympathetic to Iran’s brutal regime and pointing to his lack of public reaction to the Iranian protesters killed in recent years.
“Comrade Mayor is rooting for the Ayatollah,” GOP Sen. Ted Cruz posted on X. “They can chant together.”
OBAMA OFFICIAL WHO BACKED IRAN DEAL SPARKS ONLINE OUTRAGE WITH REACTION TO TRUMP’S STRIKE: ‘SIT THIS ONE OUT’
“Do u say anything pro American ?” Fox News host Brian Kilmeade posted on X. “do u know any Iranians – ? they hate [@fr_Khamenei]they celebrate his death, you should be celebrating his death ! hes killed thousands of American’s and just killed 30k Iranians, did u even say a word about that? You are an embarrassment !! Please quit.”
“I don’t feel safe in New York listening to someone like you, Mamdani, who sympathizes with the regime that killed more than 30,000 unarmed Iranians in less than 24 hours,” Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad posted on X.
“We Iranians do not allow you to lecture us about war while you had nothing to say when the Islamic Republic shot schoolgirls and blinded more than 10,000 innocent people in the streets. You were busy celebrating the hijab while women of my beloved country Iran were jailed and raped by Islamic Security forces for removing it.
“And NOW you find your voice to defend the regime? No. I will not let you claim the moral high ground. The people of Iran want to be free. Where were you when they needed solidarity?”

“How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil?” Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman posted on X. “Why is this so hard for you?”
“It takes a particular kind of audacity, or ignorance, for a city mayor to appoint himself the conscience of American foreign policy while his constituents step over garbage on their way to work,” GOP Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X. “History will not remember his bravery. It will not remember him at all.”
“Iranian New Yorkers are thrilled today and see right through you,” Republican New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino posted on X.
“When Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, UAE, Bahrain all support today’s operation eliminating world’s #1 sponsor of terror, but New York City’s Mayor @ZohranMamdani is shilling for Iran,” Republican New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov posted on X.
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment.
Shortly after Mamdani’s post, it was announced by President Trump and Israeli officials that the military operation resulted in Khamenei’s death.
Israeli leaders confirmed Khamenei’s compound and offices were reduced to rubble early Saturday after a targeted strike in downtown Tehran.
“Khamenei was the contemporary Middle East’s longest-serving autocrat. He did not get to be that way by being a gambler. Khamenei was an ideologue, but one who ruthlessly pursued the preservation and protection of his ideology, often taking two steps forward and one step back,” Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of FDD’s Iran program, told Fox News Digital.
