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”.



I think Trump and his cronies literally thought this would be a Venezuela. They thought “Oh, we just kill the supreme leader and Iran becomes our lapdog”.
It also probably helped that the Elisons likely promised trump a new mansion.
