The New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington DC have issued advisories in light of the recent US attacks on Iran.
U.S. conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, with President Donald Trump claiming the facilities were "obliterated" on Saturday to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) popsted an advisory on X saying, "Out of an abundance of caution, we're deploying additional resources to religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites across NYC and coordinating with our federal partners."
