I have seen many twisted logics but from a Elite member who is a reporter is a little shocking... You should be aware of geo-politics and relationships atleast in immediate neighbourhood than most of us, no????
what options you have ?
As in??? Haven't we just shown by abstaining from voting??? May i humbly ask what option does Iran have??? What is Iran going to gain by breaking ties with India????
You are already not in big oil deal with Iran.
Let's not look everything from oil however since you are then here is a little fact for you...
"India is one of the largest purchasers of Iranian crude oil, importing 350,000 barrels of oil per day"
Its Iran that is giving you passage and facility for Chahbahar to counter Pakistan.It is Iran that can side with you for countering Pakistan in Afghanistan.
May i know why is Iran doing all that??? Are you saying that Iran want's to counter Pakistan in AF for the sake of India???? Are you really saying that???? Are you saying that developing Chahbahar port will help only India???? Is gwadar port development going to benefit only China??? Mam, what kind of absurd logic is that???
It is Iran that can give you passage to CARs .
After Pakistan the
next best economically possible route is via Iran and yes you are right about it. Now let's move to your next question....
You might don't know but Iran is more isolated then what she was a decade ago. You might wanna ignore but Russia and China are also against Nuclear Iran and so is India...You might wanna downplay but fact remains that India is a strong regional player and her geo-political might is on the rise. At these desparate times you don't want to loose anybody who is on your side to whatever extent. Don't forget India is a huge market and leading trade partner of Iran. Just to give you a figure our trade rose from $11.17 billion in 2007-2008 to $14.55 Billion in 2008-2009. Keep in mind these are the times when Global Economy was in recessions. Does this give any idea about our economic engagements????
Even if India oppose sanctions against Iran it does not matter because US can already get support for sanctions.
And is that good reason to breal relations??? Should iran be compromising relations with those countries who are voting in favor of them or mend ties with those countries who are voting against them??? Don't give a Pakistani POV and if you want to do then atleast call it out. Why are you saying that bad relations with India has no implications for Iran???
So literally India can not go against these sanctions and have business with Iran once sanctions are in place.
No country can go against any sanctions that are imposed by UN, this is true for all..so what is news in it??? However we can do other things at billateral level that are not under sanctions. And any Iran well-wisher would completely understand the sensitivity about it....
So the bottomline is India a dead horse for Iran.
...Ok Ms jana , if you say so....
when did i ask you to amend with Israel (whatever that means to you).
