Major Lebanese news outlet Almayadeen is reporting that Turkish citizens in Izmir plan to keep protesting against the American military until the US Navy warship USS Wasp departs Izmir’s port.
The USS Wasp is in regional waters to as part of efforts to “deter potential threats to Israel” amid the Gaza war, and as the potential for escalation with Hezbollah and Iran looms. “Protesters have issued a firm warning to the Izmir Governorship, stating they will remain at the port until the ship departs,” Almayadeen writes. “They also condemned the United States for its role in causing suffering and violence in Iraq, Syria, and the broader West Asia region.”
