Morgan Ortagus is the deputy US Middle East envoy, previously State Department spokesperson.
It was such an honor for me to join my friends @RJC to pay tribute to my dear friend, the late Senator Lindsey Graham. We honor Lindsey by standing up for the US-Israel Alliance, by fighting for peace between Israel and her neighbors, and by making clear there is NO PLACE in the Republican Party for antisemites or Jew-haters. That was Lindsey’s fight. We’ll keep fighting it. Watch the full tribute at the RJC Annual Leadership Summit: https://t.co/Vy1fKVhGRm
The Iranian regime is lashing out because its economy is crumbling under the U.S. oil embargo - they are in a slowly tightening noose and they know it. @POTUS is doing the right thing: keep raising the pressure. https://t.co/CirJU3fxVV
Iran’s regime understands one thing: pressure. Enforcing sanctions will starve this regime of the lifeline of funds that would allow it to rebuild and continue threatening the region. The pressure must continue. @BBCNews https://t.co/0WQ2Umab6O
Still grateful to President Trump and Jared for having me a part of this team. What a beautiful 6th anniversary of the Abraham Accords— and a reminder that our work for #peace isn’t done.
The Iranian regime fears its own people more than anything else. And every day without a deal brings more economic pressure. Sanctions are being enforced, the blockade is proving effective, and all military options remain on the table. I joined @BloombergTV to discuss how President Trump has many options to continue to pressure Iran.
