As the only American rescue organization to conduct operations in the Middle East every year since October 7, 2023, Project DYNAMO has witnessed firsthand the human cost of conflict and the value of stability.
Since October 7, 2023, Project DYNAMO has maintained a continuous operational presence across the region, conducting rescue, evacuation, and humanitarian missions for Americans and allies during one of the most consequential periods of instability in recent Middle Eastern history.
Our teams have operated through regional escalation, shifting security conditions, border closures, transportation disruptions, and the uncertainty that follows conflict. That experience gives Project DYNAMO a clear perspective on today’s announcement.
Project DYNAMO welcomes the recently announced U.S.-Iran peace deal and the possibility of a safer, more stable future for the Middle East.
The Middle East remains one of the world’s most strategically important regions. What happens there affects the people who call it home, Americans living, working, traveling, and serving abroad, global commerce, energy markets, international security, and the broader international community.
Throughout our operations, we have seen families separated by conflict, travelers stranded by rapidly changing conditions, and communities forced to navigate uncertainty. We have also seen courage, resilience, and hope from the people of the region.
America is at its best when it leads with strength, confidence, and a commitment to peace. We are encouraged by the possibility that this agreement can help move the region toward a future defined more by stability, cooperation, prosperity, and opportunity than by conflict.
For nearly three years, Project DYNAMO Rescue has stood alongside Americans and allies facing uncertainty across the Middle East.
We hope this moment marks the beginning of a future in which fewer families are forced to flee conflict, fewer travelers find themselves stranded by instability, and fewer Americans need organizations like ours to bring them home.
Until that day comes, Project DYNAMO remains ready.
We are grateful to our donors who make this mission possible. Their generosity enables Project DYNAMO to provide rescue, evacuation, and humanitarian assistance to Americans and allies at no cost to those we help, while maintaining the readiness, capabilities, and operational reach required to respond when the next crisis emerges.
We are equally grateful to the volunteers and partners whose dedication helps transform that support into action.
No One Left Behind.
