President Donald Trump said the U.S. is moving thousands of people out of various countries throughout the Middle East amid the military conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran.
"It is being done quietly, but seamlessly," Trump said in a social media post without providing further details.
The State Department said later on Friday that it was continuing to reach out to Americans in the Middle East to offer charter flights or ground transport travel assistance.
"Several flights have safely returned hundreds of Americans to the United States with additional flights scheduled to take place over the coming days, as security conditions allow," Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson said in a statement.
Johnson said a task force has "directly assisted nearly 13,000 Americans abroad, offering security guidance and travel assistance."
