The Obama administration is not ready to concede an Iranian nuclear weapon. But absent diplomatic progress, the United States may have to accept Iran as a threshold or ‘virtual’ nuclear power. Neither sanctions nor deterrence is likely to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear-weapons capability. A diplomatic breakthrough, however slim the perceived possibilities, is still the best option to halt Iran’s nuclear-weapons ambitions. </description><link>http://www.iiss.org/programmes/gulf-and-middle-eastern-security/publications/survival-volume-51-no-5-iran-diplomacy-and-deterrence/</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:16:03 GMT</pubDate><pageFirstCreationDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:18:10 GMT</pageFirstCreationDate><pageLastModified>Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:16:00 GMT</pageLastModified><category></category><guid isPermaLink="false">31183</guid></item><item><title>23 Sep 2009  - - BBC World Service - UK to cut Trident subs</title><description>Interview with Mark Fitzpatrick, Senior Fellow for Non-proliferation</description><link>http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-in-the-press/september-2009/uk-to-cut-trident-subs/</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:53:12 GMT</pubDate><pageFirstCreationDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:50:09 GMT</pageFirstCreationDate><pageLastModified>Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:53:09 GMT</pageLastModified><category></category><guid isPermaLink="false">31120</guid></item><item><title>22 Sep 2009  - - Vatican Radio - Iran Makes New Model of Nuclear Centrifuges</title><description>Interview with Mark Fitzpatrick, Senior Fellow for Non-proliferation</description><link>http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-in-the-press/september-2009/iran-makes-new-model-of-nuclear-centrifuges/</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:02:01 GMT</pubDate><pageFirstCreationDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:12:38 GMT</pageFirstCreationDate><pageLastModified>Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:01:56 GMT</pageLastModified><category></category><guid isPermaLink="false">31096</guid></item><item><title>20 Sep 2009 - - Times of India - Which way is Islamabad tipping?</title><description>By Sir Hilary Synnott, Consulting Senior Fellow

Can Pakistan find a way out of violent instability? How severe are the problems of
this strategically crucial country, and how much of a threat do they pose beyond
Pakistan’s borders? Has Pakistan become an ungovernable failed state?
Hilary Synnott draws on his experience of Pakistan to argue that any strategy for addressing the country’s problems requires a nuanced understanding of its
turbulent history, the failings of successive governments and the weaknesses of
core institutions.
