In a @USATODAY op-ed, with my MEI colleague @JasonHCampbell:

In launching strikes against Iran, America has unleashed a series of events it cannot fully control

And beneath these calculations lies a deeper anxiety ... over the future of Iran itself

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

My @MiddleEastInst colleague @AlexVatanka and I co-authored a piece for @USATODAY describing some of the key risks confronting the US and #Iran and pointing out the Operation #EpicFury has unleashed a series of events the US cannot fully control.

I recently spoke with @rabya86 for her @anadoluagency article on the US military build-up in the #MiddleEast and its impact on the potential for conflict or negotiations with #Iran

Military escalation or diplomacy: Is the US avoiding an attack on Iran? https://t.co/W7wFy6GtlM

@EvanFeigenbaum @Mukherjee_Anit @KingsCollegeLon @CarnegieIndia Great news indeed…sincere congrats @Mukherjee_Anit!

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

In this @MiddleEastInst piece I examine the slow progress in establishing the International Stabilization Force (ISF) for #Gaza. #CENTCOM is scrambling to form a multinational force for an ill-defined mission but must fight the urge to over-commit the US

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

Happy to contribute to my first @MiddleEastInst year-end roundup. 2026 must be a year of follow-through for the Trump admin. Despite claims in the #NationalSecurityStrategy, US interests in the ME remain robust and claims of progress will prove ephemeral

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

Very significant development in #Gaza as US takes first step on what could be a very slippery slope. Will still be hard to form ISF with no clear mandate, however

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

In my first official piece for @MiddleEastInst I examine Israel's strike against #Hamas negotiators in #Doha, its damage to U.S. credibility as an interlocutor, and the ramifications for regional stability.

[Middle East Institute @MiddleEastInst]

"The pursuit of stability in the Middle East is an enduring US national security objective... Violating the sanctity of negotiations held in neutral sites only invites perpetual conflict," writes MEI's @JasonHCampbell in a new article.

Some personal news: After 15+ great years at @RANDCorporation, I am transitioning to @MiddleEastInst as Senior Fellow focused on regional defense and security. Very excited to join this stellar group of researchers and analysts!

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

Excellent (& timely) piece by @ahmadjavid. #Afghanistan remains key geopolitical/security concern for U.S. interests. Renewed, if limited, engagement w/#Taliban warrants close consideration.

The U.S. Can No Longer Ignore the Threat Arising in Afghanistan https://t.co/olL8mMw3Oh

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

Couldn't agree more with this take re: #USAID. The vilification of the org and its people is unwarranted and its dissolution deprives the U.S. of a key diplomatic lever. No one is happier by this (and the disinfo surrounding it) than our adversaries.

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

if you care about america’s economic & national security interests, you should care about usaid getting shut down

here’s why it’s about way more than charity

Some wisdom from two of today's Nobel Laureates:

"Democracies achieve faster economic growth than do autocratic regimes, and they do so by investing in people — by supporting more education and better health care, especially for the poorer segments of society."

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

@keebler45 “Lickies and chewies”…favorite thing I’ve heard in a while. Definitely stealing that one. 🤣

[Jason H. Campbell @JasonHCampbell]

Very sorry to learn of passing of Tony Cordesman, a true giant of military analysis. Will remember fondly engaging with him in the Pentagon's Pak-Af Coordination Cell back in 2009-10. Despite being a young analyst he was always engaging and encouraging.
