Jake Broe (@jakebroe) Over the last week Iran every day as been able to increase their drone and missile attacks on the Gulf states. Israel and the United States do not have the war under control.

Despite #USA and #Israel stating they have decapitated #Irans #missile supply, indications are that missile from Iran have ⬆️ in the region.

We are safe in Athens, and I want to share what actually happened to get us out, because the story being told by US politicians is not the whole truth. While we were in Riyadh, sheltered by the incredibly generous families of the American International School of Riyadh who took in my ASD colleagues and us, the acting ambassador came to speak with our group. She told us evacuation flights were happening. That same morning, I had received two calls. One from the State Dept in DC telling me there were no evac flights, no help, and nothing they could do. And one from the Doha embassy offering to put me on a bus to Riyadh, where we already were, a fact clearly stated on our intake form. After the ambassador's talk, Jim and I stayed for 1:1 questions and told her exactly what we had been told all week. She asked for my number. Within an hour, a career diplomat from the embassy in Riyadh called me personally, told me about three evacuation flights, and asked if we wanted a spot. We said yes and flew to Athens the next day. When we arrived at the rally point, there were fewer than 30 people for a very large plane. It was heartbreaking. Embassy staff on the ground, who were absolutely wonderful, told us that DC controls the manifests, not them, and that DC was disorganized and not communicating well. We felt enormous guilt getting on that plane. Shortly after arriving in Athens, the same career diplomant reached out and said she could get more people out and to send her names. I did, and we were able to help many more colleagues get on flights. I also want to be clear about what "evacuation" means in practice: many flights are going to Athens, and once people land, they are on their own. Find your own lodging. Book your own onward flight to the US at your own expense. Politicians are boasting about the Americans they are getting "home," but Athens is not home, and the support stops at the jetway. A friend was on a flight last night with only 90 people on it.

The administration didn't do shit to evacuate Americans from the #PersianGulfWar zone.
