Reference Message Network reported on June 22nd according to a report by the US Fox News on June 21st. After the United States launched an air strike on three of Iran's nuclear facilities on the evening of the 21st, the authorities in New York and Washington entered a state of high alert.
"We are closely monitoring the development of the situation in Iran," the New York Police Department posted on X, saying, "Out of extreme caution, we are deploying more resources to religious, cultural, and diplomatic venues across the city, and coordinating with our federal partners. We will continue to monitor any potential impacts on New York City."
Soon after, the Metropolitan Police Department also released a similar statement on its social platform. The statement said: "We are actively coordinating with local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, sharing information, and monitoring intelligence to help protect the residents, businesses, and visitors in this area."
The report stated that the Metropolitan Police Department said that there are currently no known threats, but they will strengthen police presence at religious sites throughout the city.
Paul Morro is a contributor for Fox News and a former inspector of the New York Police Department responsible for monitoring the city's terrorist activities. Morro said: "(The New York Police Department) will send special patrol cars to locations that may be linked to Israel, where there are several Shiite mosques - Iran is Shiite."
Morro said that most importantly, the authorities are monitoring online conversations from potentially dangerous bad actors.
