Day-To-Day Press Officer Work
- Shahed Ghoreishi described his role as a Near Eastern Affairs press officer who drafted cleared lines for reporters and briefed spokespeople before podiums.

How Press Guidance Gets Cleared
- Clearance for press lines is a multilayered process involving desk officers, bureau leadership, and staffers on the secretary's policy planning and deputy secretary offices.
- Shahed emphasized that clearances are often handled by staff representatives, not principals themselves.
Cut Line On Forced Displacement
- Ghoreishi described drafting a line stating "we do not support forced displacement" that he says mirrored President Trump and Special Envoy Whitcoff's statements.
