Iran deal's effect on Afghan Indian Nexus.

[El Sidd]

Pakistan sees Iran as an Extension of its own Security.

Any greater Game designed to destabilise Iran will be unwelcomed in and by Pakistan

Trump pulled out of Iran deal, Means any one doing business with Iran could come under sanctions.

Now India is using Chabahar port to send goods to Afghanistan. Afghans how ever ditched wheat and many other exports from Pakistan in favor of Indian goods which were expensive and India and Afghans were playing BBF with each other.

Thanks to Trump India now cannot use Irani port any more. So they need Pakistan once more for transit now what should we do in this new game.

Pakistan can refuse India right to transit as Afghanistan is not playing by WTO rules and giving us fair access to it's market so we can refuse to India goods transits and force India to use Irani port and get sanctioned by USA and if USA lifts sanctions on India then every one can trade with Iran and Trumps policy of Very Bad Iran Deal will go in trash can.

So Now USA has shot in it's own foot with Sanctioning Iran. As Pakistani denial to port access card is back in the play in Afghanistan.

Good analysis, but I do think US, India, Afg will find a way to hurt Pakistan interests in all of that.

There is no other way. If USA makes the sanctions selective then EU will be more pissed. On the whole USA care more for Israel than pissing Pakistan.

Please check the Afghan trade. IF it hurts Pakistan it'll hurt Afghanistan and its troops supply line. Apart from that it does'nt have many levers to pull as Pakistan does'nt have that much of a business relationship, and its Treasury has already been barring Pakistani companies. USA has mostly used its media to blackball Pakistan to attain their interests. On that front Pakistan needs to work desperately. Even media organizations like Dawn , Express, Geo, are arms of US Govt..

USA has lot to do with Pakistan, read its nukes. Crippling Pakistan financially to make Pak abandon nukes. It wont happen but that's the plan.
On a side note, Pak was exporting in excess of $2 billion to Afg.
