Queens Congressional Democrats slam Trump over Iranian airstrikes

Congressional Democrats in Queens roundly criticized President Donald Trump after the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran over the weekend, which set off both protests and celebratory rallies across New York City.

U.S. Reps. Grace Meng, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nydia Velázquez and Gregory Meeks all criticized Trump for launching Operation Epic Fury on Saturday, which resulted in the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran for 37 years.
