US Embassies Tell Americans Middle East They’re On Their Own
Following Iranian attacks, the U.S. has closed its embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and is unable to directly assist Americans departing Israel or Qatar. Embassies in both nations advised citizens against relying on government evacuation, instead suggesting they explore local transportation options. The U.S. government cannot guarantee the safety of those choosing to depart via these provided means, and the limited availability of transportation has prioritized individuals with the financial means or status to secure passage.
