The U.S. State Department is scrambling to assist thousands of stranded Americans in the Middle East trying to evacuate the region after the U.S. and Israel jointly launched an operation targeting Iran over the weekend. The agency urged Americans to depart from 14 countries in the region using commercial means, but there are currently significant disruptions in air travel. “It’s not clear at all that people are getting a lot of guidance from the State Department,” ABC News’ Matt Rivers reports from Beirut, Lebanon. #Iran #MiddleEast #StateDepartment #Politics #News
