This is how a pragmatist understands US foreign policy in conjunction with the Iranian nuclear weapons crisis! Yesterday morning I wrote a short commentary on the Obama administration's lack of understanding about Iran and that country's quest to obtain nuclear weapons.

Group urges US and Russia to relocate a proportion of their arms deployed in Europe, which hark back to cold war-era hostilities

The SNP's opposition to the location of British nuclear weapons in Scotland is well-known, and it mirrors majority Scottish public opinion pretty accurately. MoD thoughts are now turning to the knotty problem: if Trident is kicked out of Scotland where will it go?

Storm clouds are gathering over whether Iran should be invaded as a pre-emptive strike to prevent its manufacture of nuclear weapons.

Iran, nukes and 40% of the worlds traded supply of crude oil! Fact: The United States receives about 18% of its petroleum imports from the Persian Gulf. A disruption to the flow would be devastating on many different levels! After years of benign neglect that served as the United States foreign and national security policy over Iran's nuclear weapons program it's now that country, and no...

The House of Commons has approved, without a vote, tougher economic sanctions against Iran, because of "serious concern" about its nuclear weapons programme from independent inspectors.
