The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has deleted a post after it offered condolences for the U.S. strikes on Iran.
“Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran,” the since-deleted post on X read. “While this tragic event happened overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state and federal partners.”
Per Fox News, the post was amended, deleting the sentence on the U.S. strikes. The post was later deleted altogether.
The department then issued an apology on Sunday evening for the “offensive and inappropriate” social media post.
“We are issuing this statement to formally apologize for an offensive and inappropriate social media post recently posted on our Department social media platforms regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran,” the post read. “This post was unacceptable, made in error, and does not reflect the views of Sheriff Robert G. Luna or the Department.”
