The New York City Police Department says it is ramping up its alert status after the U.S. military attacked Iranian nuclear labs on Saturday night.
While Trump called the strikes on key nuclear targets successful, the exact ramifications and fallout from the operation are weeks away from understanding the damage.
This morning, NYPD Chief of Department, John Chell, said the nation’s largest police force is deploying additional resources due to the bombing in Iran.
Mayor Eric Adams began his day Sunday by attending a briefing with the NYPD liaisons in Israel, Jordan, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar. Throughout the day, following the bombings, Adams confirmed an increased police presence at houses of worship across the city.
New York State governor Kathy Hochul said she would increase patrols on a state level, adding that she is receiving intelligence briefings and will do whatever it takes to keep the city and state safe. On Sunday, she announced that the MTA and Port Authority “have activated counterterrorism protections in partnership with local law enforcement” to guard against any potential attacks, though she noted, as did the mayor, the state is not aware of any specific or credible threats at this time.
APB News is dispatching camera teams throughout the city as this is a developing story.
