Secretary of State Marco Rubio has come under fire for failing to plan for the security of thousands of Americans trapped in the Middle East as President Donald Trump wages war on Iran.
U.S. citizens were originally advised to shelter in place as the U.S. bombed Tehran and other targets in Iran, killing the country’s supreme leader and triggering retaliatory strikes against America’s allies in the Middle East.
Two days after the attacks began, the State Department’s assistant secretary for consular affairs, Mora Namdar, shared a message from Rubio urging Americans to “DEPART NOW” from more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries “using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks,” she wrote in a post on X.com.
