This article was originally published by Zoey Sky at Natural News.  Iran is prepared to withdraw from the NPT if the U.K., France, and Germany trigger a sanctions snapback. This move would remove international restrictions on Iran’s uranium enrichment activities. If Iran exits the NPT, it could enrich uranium to 90 percent purity, produce and export advanced centrifuges, and ignore inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). These actions would bring Iran closer to producing a nuclear weapon and further destabilize the Middle East. Iran believes it has little to lose due to the crippling sanctions imposed after the…

I follow, sprinting through the soft New Mexican sand, dodging cholla cactus and piles of trash, and trying not to lose sight of hawk or hunter.

In the time it takes the juvenile northern goshawk to soar half a mile across the hills, we’ve barely covered…

To be effective, diplomacy must be backed up by economic and military strength. In our era of rapidly advancing technology, both economic and military strength are directly dependent on investments in early-stage, enabling technologies.This competition…

It was published just three years after the blockbuster “Jaws” hit theaters. The mako prowls its shadowy underworld with an arrogant confidence, propelled by languid sweeps of his large tail.
