(CNN) New York City is taking extra measures to protect major areas from any potential revenge attacks after a US airstrike killed a top Iranian general. The city will be "vigilant against this threat for a long time to come," de Blasio tweeted. The Los Angeles Police Department said there are no credible threats to the city either but it's monitoring the developments in Iran. The US airstrike that killed Iran Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani generated starkly different reactions along party lines Thursday night. Republicans heaped praise on President Donald Trump while Democrats expressed concerns about the legality and consequences of the attack.
