For those who may not know, I happened to be traveling through the Middle East just as the Iranian attacks erupted, leaving me stranded amid the chaos. The past 72 hours have been utterly surreal, like nothing I've ever experienced before. Iranian missiles were flying directly over my head. Here's a video I captured on the second night of the attacks. First, I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude to Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and his administration for their exceptional assistance and unwavering commitment to my safety during my time in Doha. Their care was unparalleled, and I was truly impressed by the effectiveness of the Patriot missile interceptor system. Second, a heartfelt thank you to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for providing top-tier security during my time there, and for ensuring that the other Americans and I could safely board our flight and depart the Gulf without incident. It was also remarkable to witness the Qataris and Saudis collaborating seamlessly to protect American lives, they are both incredible allies. 🇺🇸🇸🇦🇶🇦 Most importantly, I want to thank White House Deputy Chief of Staff @JamesBlairUSA, Congresswoman @realAnnaPaulina, and all the other U.S. government officials who helped me. (Also, a special thank you to the US Ambassador to Greece, @KimGuilfoyle, and her great staff on the ground for ensuring that our flight was able to successfully land in Athens on such short notice.) I've just touched down in Europe and will be home soon. God bless our troops, God bless our incredible GCC allies, and God bless the United States of America! 🇺🇸
