A day after news that the U.S. military bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department said on its social media channels their “hearts go out” to Iranian “victims.”
The post sparked quick backlash — and an apology followed.
It’s unclear what time the initial message, which was on X, Facebook and Instagram, was posted Sunday.
The department deleted the post from X and edited its Facebook and Instagram posts to remove the first two sentences. An apology issued Sunday evening referred to the original post as “offensive and inappropriate.”
According to a screenshot of the tweet from KTLA, the original post read, “Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran. While this tragic event occurred overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state, and federal partners.”
