State Department Daily Press Briefing

The U.S. deplores the death of Turkish citizens in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We stand with our NATO Ally Turkey and extend our condolences to the families of those lost in the recent fighting.

The revocations are intended to ensure that relevant U.S. policies do not impede assistance to those already suffering what has been called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Ansarallah leaders remain sanctioned.

On February 1, the Burmese military detained a broad cross-section of civilian government leadership. We join partners, allies, and others across the world in condemning the military’s actions.
