U.S. Facilitates Evacuations Amid Middle East Tensions and Issues Safety Warnings

Amid escalating tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, the U.S. government is facilitating evacuations of thousands of Americans from the Middle East. President Trump described the process as "quiet but seamless," while the State Department continues to offer charter flights and ground transport assistance. The U.S. has warned citizens in Iraq about potential threats from Iran-aligned militias and advised those unable to leave to shelter securely with supplies, as commercial flights remain suspended.
