The US Embassy in Turkey confirmed the incident and thanked Turkish authorities for their intervention. A spokesman for the US National Security Council expressed concern.
A video published by the TGB on the online service X shows several attackers pulling a sack over the head of a man dressed in civilian clothes and shouting “Yankee go home!”
US soldiers “who have the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Palestinians on their hands must not sully our country,” said the nationalist and anti-American group. The “USS Wasp” had conducted maneuvers in the Mediterranean Sea together with Turkish naval ships in mid-August.
