The majority of V2X employees in Erbil have been staying in a hotel in the city since the outbreak of the conflict. Workers interviewed said that when they ask company management about safety or evacuation plans, they become hostile, four workers said. V2X has told its employees in Erbil that the security situation is not severe enough for the company to arrange an evacuation. Employees described having inadequate protections, receiving limited communications from the company about evacuation plans and being targets of Iran-allied attacks. V2X employees interviewed allege the company is playing down threats to their safety to avoid having to evacuate them.
