Senior Advisor with the Cohen Group Jen Gavito said President Trump has repeatedly threatened more military action against Iran, but the fact that it hasn't happened yet is recognition that the conflict isn't going to be won militarily https://t.co/wvb7KHpuwJ
Discussed with @BloombergTV President Trump’s comments on Iran today and the implication of a return to maximalist positions on the likely success of negotiations to end the war.

Discussed with @BBCNews today all things Iran, including state of negotiations and President Trump’s competing instincts to cut his losses or hold out for some elusive strategic win to tout. Spoiler alert: the 11th hour Abraham Accords demand isn’t going to provide that.
Bombshell? Maybe to Fox News hosts and its foreign operative propagandists, but every graduate student of Middle East studies, every diplomat in the State Dept, every spook in the CIA, and every inspector in the IAEA knew this “bombshell.”

As I told @BloombergTV, today’s events reinforce the difficulty of restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz despite the Trump administration’s effort to do so. It appears increasingly likely we are facing another round of violence before a true off-ramp is found.

The US has ordered the drawdown of roughly 5,000 troops from Germany, following through on President Trump’s threats to reduce the American military presence there.

On Foreign Service Day, we honor our career diplomats. In normal times, over 70% of all U.S. Ambassadors are from the career ranks. Today, the number is just over 7%. Our country deserves better. @afsatweets
With all focus on Iran, Lebanon to my view is the most underreported story of the moment. Get it right and the region (including Israel) wins big, fail to capitalize on this moment and the region will pay a steep price. More in my new piece below.
🇮🇱 🇱🇧 Under US pressure, Israel and Lebanon have entered a temporary cease-fire.
But the two sides still need to arrive at a face-saving compromise on Hezbollah’s disarmament and Israel’s buffer zone, write @fsjen and Bianca Rosen.

I am and will always be incredibly grateful to those who worked for my release when I was held hostage by an armed faction in Iraq earlier this month.
So many people – including but not limited to government officials, press freedom organisations, and my wonderful community of fellow journalists and friends - put an immense amount of effort into ensuring that the level of attention to my case remained high.
Thank you all so very, very much.

Twenty one hours was twenty hours too many if the goal was to reiterate a demand Iran had already rejected
It was many hours too few if the goal was to negotiate
