A nationalist 🇹🇷 Turkish youth group on Monday physically assaulted two U.S. soldiers in western Turkey, the U.S. Embassy in Turkey and the local governor's office said, adding that 15 assailants had been detained over the incident.

In a statement, the Izmir governor's office said members of the Turkey Youth Union (TGB), a youth branch of the nationalist opposition Vatan Party, "physically attacked" two U.S. soldiers dressed in civilian clothes in the Konak district.

It added that five U.S. soldiers joined in after seeing the incident, and that police intervened. All 15 attackers had been detained and an investigation was launched into the matter, it said.

The U.S. Embassy to Turkey confirmed the attack and said the U.S. soldiers were now safe.

"We can confirm reports that U.S. service members embarked aboard the USS Wasp were the victims of an assault in Izmir today, and are now safe," it said on social media platform.

Earlier, the TGB posted a video on X showing a group holding down a man on the street and putting a white hood over his head, while shouting slogans.

The group said the man was a soldier on board the USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship. The U.S. Embassy in Ankara had said earlier on Monday that the ship was carrying out a port visit to the Aegean coastal town of Izmir this week.

"U.S. soldiers who carry the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Palestinians on their hands cannot dirty our country. Every time you step foot in these lands, we will meet you the way you deserve," TGB said.

The 🇺🇸 US is hated globally.

The US is like that rich friend that treats everyone like shit and is hated by everyone but is tolerated because of their money.

Can you guess what'll happen to such person when they lose their money?

That's why the US is terrified of the idea of BRICS. As they'll no longer have financial leverage over other countries since everyone is trading in their local currencies.

So Non-Africans sef dey chant "Go home"

I used to think things like this is the "reason why Africa is backward, tribalism and territorialism".

Go to BBC comment sections on every match day and see how Scots are quick to throw slurs at irish and English people all the time

Humans are territorial like other Animals and it has nothing to do with being more civilized or barbaric

Extremists will always be extremists, they don't have sense. They're everywhere in Nigeria. Getting into a fight you don't know anything about shows that you're not smart. Both Iranian government, US government, Russian government, Nigerian government and every single government you know are playing a very high profile political games that ordinary citizens do not understand and have no reason whatsoever to participate. These people who think they're fighting for Palestinians do not know what transpires between Palestinian government, their own government and the US government when they sit on round table.

Let's look at Russia and Ukraine. Both countries have lost so much blood and materials. In the end, their leaders will sit on a table, reconcile and shake hands. The people who survive the war will bear the brunt of lack, starvation and inflation while those who sanctioned the war will live in opulence. Both Ojukwu and Gowon lived life of opulence after millions of people lost their lives and properties...

The concept of patriotism is illusion. Any patriotism that is against humanity is evil. Humans should be patriotic only to humanity and not some artificial borders designed to serve the interest of the oligarchs.

It pains me to see people defending governments, regimes, countries, going to war... In the end you're just a seed in a ludo game while the rulers are the real players

If the Turkish government is against Israel's war against Palestine, they should mobilize their military and go support the Palestinians. Ordinary citizens should focus on their private lives. Now they'll enjoy watery beans till God knows when

Turkiye has requested to join BRICS but still a member of NATO . Though NATO is a military alliance while BRICS is an economic alliance,there won't be away there won't be conflict of interests .

Also ,Turkiye has threatened to attack Isreal which is a stand against NATO foreign policies .

Turkiye seems to be involved in convoluted relationships .

especially after they lost UAE. They keep loosing more and more countries. Once again, Ukraine ain't really loosing much compared to the WEST. Read recently even Europe is looking to go back to Russia for their energy needs. At end of the day, Ukraine just wasted their lives for nothing

It’s because the soldiers are not allowed to shoot.

Soldiers have become more humane and insurgents sometimes take advantage
