Americans in the Middle East
Donald Trump's reckless war in Iran has stranded thousands of Americans across the Middle East — leaving them in a war zone with limited information and few ways of getting home.
What information the State Department has offered is being shared here, including security and travel information broken down by country. Additionally, in general, the State Department recommends that Americans traveling abroad should:
- Enroll in STEP
- Check Embassy websites for latest security information and alerts
- Complete the crisis intake form if interested in U.S. government-assisted departure
- Follow Department of State on WhatsApp
If you need further assistance, please contact my office.
