Trump: Over 9,000 Americans have returned home from Middle East

On March 4, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that since the start of Operation “Epic Fury,” more than 9,000 Americans have safely returned home from the Middle East.

As reported by Caliber.Az, he shared the information on Truth Social:

“If you are a U.S. Citizen in the Middle East, and you want to come home, please register with the State Department at Step.State.Gov. The Department will identify where you are, and provide travel options to you. We are already chartering flights, free of charge, and booking commercial options, which we expect will become increasingly available as time goes on. U.S. Citizens may also call the 24/7 State Department Task Force at +1-202-501-4444,” he wrote.
