The US State Department has announced the commencement of charter flights to evacuate American citizens remaining in the Middle East following the start of military operations against Iran.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing foreign media outlets, that the evacuation process is part of an urgent security measure initiated by Washington.
The State Department confirmed that the first aircraft has already departed from the Middle East and returned Americans to safety, though the specific point of departure was not disclosed for security reasons. US officials stated that additional flights will be organized shortly. US citizens currently in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Israel have been urged to contact the relevant authorities to coordinate their departure.
This emergency evacuation comes amid a significant escalation of regional tensions. Under the leadership of US President Donald Trump, the administration has prioritized the safety of American personnel and civilians in volatile zones. The Middle East remains a critical focus for international security, with the US maintaining a long-standing diplomatic and military presence in the region to protect its strategic interests and support its regional allies.
