As America is at war withthe Iranian regime, Zohran Mamdani’s City Hall was quietly preparing to meet with Tehran. Senior Mamdani official Ana María Archila had scheduled a meeting with Iran’s U.N. ambassador—an astonishing act of treason with one of the world’s leading state sponsors of terrorism.

Mamdani tries to downplay top official’s attempted meeting with Iran ambassador — as GOP pols demand answers
By Craig McCarthy and Matt Troutman, NY Post, July 10, 2026:
A defensive Mayor Zohran Mamdani tried to downplay his international affairs commissioner’s boneheaded attempted meeting with the anti-US Iranian ambassador — as he faced heat from aghast GOP lawmakers Friday.
ADVERTISEMENTMamdani said he never knew about Commissioner Ana Maria Archila’s scheduled — and thwarted — confab this week with Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations, until he received a press inquiry about it.
He repeatedly stressed the sitdown never took place and chalked it up to a scheduling snafu.
“The commissioner recognizes that this was made in error and we’re working on a new process in terms of new meeting requests,” he told reporters at an unrelated event. “Again, this was a request that came into the office, not one that originated from the office.”

The highly unusual would-be meeting between a Big Apple official and top diplomat from Iran — a nation hostile to the US even before the current war — caused President Trump’s State Department officials to intervene.The city office already has multiple layers of checks and balances in place to avoid such a glaring gaffe, so it appears Archila would have sidestepped proper protocols to set the meeting, according to insiders.
ADVERTISEMENTBut it also wasn’t the first time Mamdani or someone in his administration tried to meet with a controversial foreign official.
Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations, speaks during a stakeout after the United Nations Security Council meeting on the situation in Iran, at United Nations headquarters in New York City, U.S., July 10, 2026.
The mayor himself planned a face-to-face with Colombia’s outgoing leftist president Gustavo Petro — a June meeting that was also kiboshed by the Trump administration.
After Archila’s Iranian misadventure was exposed Thursday, Republican City Council members sent her a scathing letter demanding answers over the meeting and the international affairs office’s seeming drift into foreign diplomacy.
The lawmakers’ Friday letter accused the international affairs commissioner of using her post to advance “a worldwide socialist agenda” and prioritizing relationships with like-minded foreign governments.
“It is dubious, at best, for a city office that has absolutely no authority to discuss or shape US foreign policy to engage in such a role,” the letter said.
“However, for it to conspire to meet with the representative of a dangerous, authoritarian, fascist regime that is the worldwide leader of state-sponsored terrorism, that has vowed ‘Death to America,’ and is currently engaged in a lethal military conflict with our country, is an astounding (breach) of protocol and public trust, and could be construed as a subversive act.”
