Mamdani finally speaks out about Iranian regime's deadly crackdown on protesters

"I absolutely do not support the way the Iranian government has responded to that," he said during a press conference on Tuesday when asked about Iran. 

"I think that the Iranian government and every government should respect the right of people to express their political opinions, and for people to be able to do so safely," he stated.

Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist, was sworn in at the start of this year.

"I've exchanged a handful of texts with the president since we met in the Oval Office," Mamdani said on Tuesday. 

"And those texts, the conversations that we've had, they always come back to New York City and the importance of delivering for the people who call this city home," he noted.
