U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had an “emotional conversation” with seven Americans who had left Iran and were in Doha en route to the United States, he told reporters on Monday.
“It’s easy in the work that we do every day sometimes to get lost in the abstractions of foreign policy and relations with other countries, and forgetting the human element that’s at the heart of everything we do,” Blinken told journalists at the Palace Hotel in New York City.
