Iran says offers India bigger role in strategic port | Reuters

Why would Indian investment in another country be an issue for Pakistan?

You want the Iranians to lose out on economic investment because of the insecurities of some Pakistanis? How about Pakistan improve her own economy and make it attractive for Iranian investment in Pakistan and Pakistani investments in Iran?

Investment creats friendship, just like China and Pakistan. India goes all crazy with Chinese investment here. Its correct because China and Pakistan are a big threat to them. Only Pakistan has leadership who does not think. We must also protest against a road being built by India right beside our restive regions.
 
The threat here is Iran getting very cozy with our main enemy. Its a threat for us as you border the regions which are extremely problematic for Pakistan.

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. So is the friend of my enemy my enemy.
Your dear Saudi sells more oil to India, than Iran. business talks bullshit walks.
 
Pakistan has similar leverage over Iran if Iran becomes involved in unrest in Pakistan. I don't see that happening.

Iran is also not as ungoverned as Afghanistan, so the Indians are not going to be able to carry out covert activities out of Sistan without the Iranians knowing about it, and the Iranians have no interest in allowing such activity given the blow-back they would face themselves.

Arrey no, Iran is not involved but Iran is becoming the best friends with the nation which is involved.

What's the road going to do?

How are the Indians going to get military supplies to the terrorists in Balochistan without the Iranians knowing about it? The only way Indian support for terrorists in Balochistan (out of Iran) becomes a possibility is if Iran is directly involved and allows such support, and why would Iran do that?
 
So Pakistan is our enemy, because it has great relations with Saudis, right?

We do not have a good relationship with Sauds anymore. Otherwise we would have been bombing your Houthi friends.

My logic was different. You all allow India to make ports and roads that rae a few kilometers from our western borders which are very restive.
 
Arrey no, Iran is not involved but Iran is becoming the best friends with the nation which is involved.
Again, India cannot support terrorists in Balochistan (out of Iran) without Iranian knowledge, so the question is, why do you think Iran will allow Indian support for terrorism in Pakistan out of Iran?
 
So what are we going to do about the Saudis and other GCC countries then? They have a direct and indirect economic relationship with India that the Iran-India relationship is not even close to.

But India is not building infrastructures like posrts and roads in those countries,
 
Outside of the Chabahar Port and the road/rail network to Afghanistan, Pakistan's refusal to allow Indian trade with Afghanistan via the land route through Pakistan has no bearing on Indian investments in either country.

I really doubt it - Iran has many magnitudes more qualified manpower than the GCC countries, and years of sanctions have resulted in an economy and populace that is not sitting around living off 'oil revenue handouts' ala the GCC.

Chabhar port is the most important strategic investment of India in that region .
Once we completed that port entire trade will divert through land route.Perhaps from CA to Russia to
Europe .And that trade will multiply on yearly base more profit to Chabhar area.
If that was through Pakistan then there was only Gwadar not Chabhar.

Rest of the investments dont have any relation with trade route like you said.


Let stay ontopic.
I agre
 
Hope Iran is wisdom and alert not to let India bring many terrorism and suicide bombers into Pakistan cities. It does happen in Afghanistan borders.

Be wise. Don't forget Pakistan as your permanent neighbour.

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. So is the friend of my enemy my enemy.



States don't work in this formula. . we have better relation with Israel that doesn't affect our relation with Iran. ... A common friend of your foe.. could help you to resolve problem. . instead of choosing either. ..i love to see such type of arguments. . because it makes me to laugh ..
 
Its an economic investment in a strategic location for our trade ,why will India create any military tension in a area which will affect its own economy ? for the protection of that corridor Iranians can do the job well.
 
see they wont let us to dock our naval ships in iran so there is no strategy in terms of military as far as i know, but we will be having a boost in trade with iran and all i wish is that we can trade in our currency that will be good for us, and if that is achieved then and only then we can say that this deal is strategic by terms of Economics,

That's what it is...
