Gwadar depends on Afghanistan to gain access to Central Asia (the primary purpose for which it is being built).

Not exactly
The primary purpose would be Western China hence CPEC and if you look at the map may be Tajikistan
Afghanistan and Central Asia would be an added bonus

Gwadar would do well if Pakistan doesn't screw up CPEC irrespective of the success of Chabar
Same goes for Chabar
 
Iran will become the main Player in the region in the Great Strategic Game. And this diminishes the so called "importance of Pakistan" for regional peace and stability.

This Iran deal is Bad Bad news for Pakistan. The Saudis are furious with this deal. Pakistan is in catch 22. The Relationship with Iran and Pakistan speak for themselves.
Yes, you are absolutely rt. Iran is back in the game. As usual pakistan will be only of nuisance value and not much strategic importance to US. If Iran plays its cards well then SA and Pakistan will be reduced to fringe players.
 
What Iran wants to do is up to them, We should extend CPEC to Iran so we can access Central Asia both via China and Iran (even if afghanistan remains a hell hole) and a Iran-China Gas pipeline can be built via Pakistan.
 
Jealousy? ???? We hate india not iran

Best of luck to iran, but you can surely expect and accept that Pakistan will do its utmost to hurt our enemy


For Pakistan the economic corridor is a directlink from the sea straight to china.
This route is strategic not just economical

The GCC or arabs will never use an Iranian port, China will go straight through Pakistan (you expect china to go through central asia and all through northern iran?) If anything it will link iran to this network


Gwader is developing fast, keep up with the news and developments its full steam ahead



Central asian states and beyond will use both why put all your eggs in one basket


This could help both IPI and tapi eventually


There is plenty of business for both ports the only problem wr gave is with the indians

Yes, keep Iran out of this. Iran does not want to be a part of small time rivalries in South Asia.

Iran has bigger goals than that.
 
First of all, congrats! Secondly, no this deal has nothing to do with Chabahaar, but Chabahar can be affected by this deal. It can become sour for the Indians who may have to forget their central asian port as China can and will spend more than India and buy that port from Iran.

China already has Gwadar. They don't need Chabahar.

BTW, you think sanctions were stopping China from investing in Chabahar, but Indians were immune? Who do you think can resist American sanctions better, China or India? If India could invest in and develop Chabahar port while Iran was under sanctions, you think China couldn't have done the same if they wanted to?

The reason China has not invested in Chabahar, is because they don't need to. Not because of fear of being sanctioned by USA. So I hate to break it to you, but your current sugar daddy will not come like a knight in shining armour and prevent India from doing something that you don't want them to do.
 
Chabahar now will be having only fishing ports.. and the roads India build is going to be wasted...

A glorious day for the people of Pakistan.

Because a sentence in Indian media has been made a gospel by the very intelligent thread putter.

Another day on pdf.

Iran cannot match up to Pakistans importance in the region. We are already the No. 1 spot for Chinese interest and investments. Best Iran can do is join hands with Pakistan and together be the most influential in the region.

Chabahar deal with Iran was already signed in May this year after the provisional deal with P5. Each side signed MOU with India committing $45 million.

The only road block was the sanctions. Now that gets lifted work will start with full force.

Please share your concerns to someone else not Indians.

Small time rivalries is what you israel snd the Saudis have, Pakistan and india have a half a century old blood feud with 300 nuclear war heads pointed at each other

Sanctions off means more business and why would china will build two ports in almost same location? ( where is the common sense)
 
Did now what?

Please enlighten me if i missed something :coffee:

Good boy, share your knowledge with all your country men who think India borders Tajikistan one day and borders Iran the next. Some days it even sits next to Turkmenistan.
