On March 9, the USA suspended services at the consulate in southern Turkey and ordered the departure of non-essential personnel, citing safety risks generated by conflicts in the region. The State Department renewed its travel warning, advising Americans not to travel to southeastern Turkey due to threats of terrorist attacks. This follows hostilities between the USA and Iran, which began on February 28, culminating in the destruction of an Iranian missile by NATO air defense on March 4.
The USA warns that terrorist groups are planning attacks in Turkey, targeting locations frequented by tourists and government institutions. American citizens are advised to be cautious and to avoid unauthorized protests, which may lead to arrests. There are also heightened risks of anti-Western sentiments, particularly anti-USA and anti-Israel. Employees of the U.S. government have travel restrictions in southeastern Turkey due to these threats.
