Governments scramble to bring citizens home during travel chaos caused by Iran war

Governments around the world have rushed to bring home citizens as the Iran war disrupts travel across the Middle East. Airspace has remained closed or restricted in much of the Gulf, so many passengers have been stuck even in areas far from any fighting. France on Wednesday arranged a repatriation flight that landed in Paris. French officials have prioritized families, sick people and older travelers. Students returned to Milan after being evacuated from Dubai. Britain, Ireland and Norway have arranged flights and emergency teams. The United States has urged its citizens to leave many countries in the region using commercial options.
