Global Rescue Conducting Security Extractions Amid Escalating Israel-Iran Conflict
(Lebanon, NH — June 15, 2025) — Global Rescue, the world's leading provider of medical, security, evacuation, and travel risk management services, is actively conducting security extractions and providing real-time advisory for international travelers trapped in Israel due to the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
Despite airspace closures over Israel, Iran, and Iraq—and temporary restrictions over Jordan—Global Rescue is using multiple means of secure transport to evacuate travelers and support those sheltering in place. The company is currently assisting dozens of international travelers, including students, tourists, and business professionals.
"We are executing extractions in a highly dynamic and dangerous environment, using every available option to reach and protect those affected by the conflict," said Harding Bush, associate director of Security Operations at Global Rescue. "Our teams are providing both remote guidance and on-the-ground support as we navigate rapidly shifting security conditions and regional restrictions."
The conflict escalated dramatically on Friday following the exchange of drone, missile, and bombing attacks between Israel and Iran. The scale of the strikes marks one of the most intense periods of direct confrontation between the two nations in years and raises the threat level for travelers across the Middle East. Israel has long targeted Iranian proxies, while Iran supports militant groups such as Hamas.
"Our mission is to get people out of harm's way—safely and quickly," said Dan Richards, CEO of The Global Rescue Companies. "The airspace closures and targeting threats complicate movement, but our security operations teams are adapting in real-time to protect individuals."
Global Rescue activated emergency protocols as the conflict intensified, deploying personnel and resources to support members in and around the conflict zone. Services include intelligence alerts, emergency action planning, and, when conditions permit, secure extraction from high-risk areas.
NOTE: Due to the sensitive nature of these operations and the risks of targeting by hostile actors, Global Rescue cannot disclose the specific details of its extractions or the identities of those receiving assistance.
