Americans criticize US state department, with one person saying she felt ‘betrayed’ and treated like ‘an afterthought’
US citizens living in the Middle East say they’re “angry” at the US state department, criticising the Trump administration for having no “backup plan” to help them leave the region in the hours and days after the start of the US-Israel war on Iran.
One person, whose family voted for Trump for his anti-war stance, said she felt “betrayed” and what she perceived as the treatment of US citizens as “an afterthought”.



The backup plan is clear. Find a way to get aboard an oil tanker. He’ll find a way to get those out…
I’m not sure that the public believes oil tankers are safe. Are these built so that the front doesn’t fall off?
Well, it’s definitely not typical I will say that.
