“The NYPD is tracking the situation in the Middle East. Out of an abundance of caution, we’re deploying additional resources to Jewish, Israeli & other sites throughout NYC,” the department said in a statement posted on X.

“We’re coordinating with our federal partners & we’ll continue to monitor for any potential impact to NYC,” NYPD added.
Israel launched an unprecedented wave of airstrikes across Iran on Friday targeting its nuclear program facilities and other military sites — claiming Iran was fast-tracking the development of nuclear weapons.
