Opinion | Did Iran really just bring Donald Trump to his knees? For the past few weeks, I have written at length expressing scepticism at the belief a huge deal between Washington and Tehran to end the President's botched war, seemed absurd. My thesis is not baseless, for the United States is famous for having a foreign policy that does not offer strategic compromise to adversaries under any circumstances. While the US may de-escalate or withdraw from situations (ending wars), it does not give away leverage it holds over an opponent until its strategic objectives are met.

Opinion | Why an Iran 'deal' remains nowhere in sight It was weeks ago that Donald Trump and his administration claimed that a "deal" was close with Iran, one which would end the botched war he initiated earlier this year and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to safe navigation.

Opinion | Trump's 'Military Listing' of Chinese firms is a negotiating ploy Yesterday, the Trump administration listed a number of Chinese companies as having "links to the country's military", a blacklist which formally bans them from having business contracts with the US Department of Defence, while otherwise acting symbolically in an attempt to deter US firms from establishing close ties with them and undermining their investment. Amongst the companies listed were Alibaba, Baidu and BYD, none of which have any military ties or purposes whatsoever.

Opinion | Trump's new 'forced labour' gambit is another, indirect shot at China The Trump administration has threatened dozens of countries with a new round of tariffs of up to 12.5%, claiming they had "had failed to curb trade in goods made with forced labour." The measures come amidst the US Supreme Court having struck down Trump's previous "emergency tariffs" as unconstitutional, dealing a blow to his global trade conflict and seriously undermining his leverage.

Opinion | The rise of ethno-nationalist politics in Britain The murder of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old man in Southampton, England, has provoked political outrage. Nowak was stabbed by a Sikh man, Vickrum Digwa, multiple times using a ceremonial dagger known as a Kirpan. When police were called to the scene, they subsequently dismissed Nowak's injuries and arrested him on suspicion of assault, only for him to become unresponsive and pass away on the spot, having stated that he "could not breathe."
