'How did you not think about this?' Trump admin under fire over Iran evacuation chaos
The White House found itself under fire for its failure to plan ahead, as Americans find themselves stranded in the Middle East during the U.S. bombing campaign against Iran.
The Trump administration urged Americans to flee 16 Middle Eastern countries as the bombing campaign rages. Desperate citizens trying to escape were instead greeted with a cold shoulder and a recorded message saying the government wouldn't help.
In response to reports on the dangerous snub, the Trump administration went into damage control.
