The US State Department announced plans to help evacuate Americans who want to leave the Middle East amid the war with Iran, after conflicting messages about the scale of the threat prompted confusion among thousands of US citizens in the region.
In a statement, the department announced that it would send chartered planes to help Americans seeking to leave the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. It’s also offering ground transport for people who want to get out of countries whose airspace has been closed.
