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

[Jen Gavito @fsjen]

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.

[Jen Gavito @fsjen]

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.

[Jen Gavito @fsjen]

100% this.

[Borzou Daragahi 🖊🗒 @borzou]

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.”

Congrats to the Generals - and to my boy!

Less than a day later, Project Freedom is "paused" amidst the clearest siganls yet that President Trump is keen to avoid a new round of open conflict.

[Al Arabiya English @AlArabiya_Eng]

Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Jennifer Gavito explains whether President Trump is trying to avoid escalation with Iran despite ongoing tensions in the region.

[Jen Gavito @fsjen]

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

@AlanEyre1 @RichardMNephew There is so little in this situation to laugh about that I really appreciated this!

[Jen Gavito @fsjen]

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.

[Atlantic Council @AtlanticCouncil]

🇮🇱 🇱🇧 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.

[Jen Gavito @fsjen]

Thanks to @AlArabiya_Eng for a great discussion about where we the conflict with Iran is headed now that the ceasefire has expired.

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

[Academy of Diplomacy @AcadofDiplomacy]

AAD member Amb. Patrick Theros, AAD member Jennifer Gavito, Dr. Arman Mahmoudian, and Colby Connelly participated in a panel discussion on the ceasefire and ongoing negotiations between Israel, Iran, and the U.S. https://t.co/goig078B9w
