A City Journal report alleges that the top official in NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Office for International Affairs, Ana María Archila, was slated to meet Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, on Tuesday, while hostilities between the two countries are ongoing.

The meeting was blocked as soon as the State Department got wind of it. State Department officials told the Mamdani administration that the meeting was unacceptable. Apparently, Archila did not consult with anyone, not even Mamdani, before scheduling the meeting, calling her judgment into question.

The Office for International Affairs was not established to shape foreign policy but to establish and maintain diplomatic ties with cities around the world to bring business to the Big Apple.

“Its purpose is to exchange best practices with other global cities, bring foreign businesses to the city, and support city government’s relationship with the entire diplomatic community residing in New York City, without regard to political ideology or party,” the City Journal stated.

Archila, however, was not selected for her experience, of which she has none in this area, but for being a left-wing activist. She has also opposed the war with Iran. What’s more, Mamdani, who has been outspoken about foreign policy and said he would have Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he arrived in New York, perhaps sees his role as extending beyond New York City.
