[danger007]

why are you insulting? did i say we should have naval base in iran i just said "THERE IS NOTHING STRATEGIC IF WE CANT KEEP OUR SHIPS" , and about economic importance,yes it is strategic. and do not insult me again.

Let it go, I didn't said anything wrong... we can port call but not a Base in country like Iran... those countries are different...

Impossible ... we are friends but please don't compare Iran with sri lanka !!!

That comment was most probably to tease our mutual neighbor.. Having fun ..

 

[Turingsage]

WTF are you guys talking about ?

guys look , we Iranians are very patriotic , thats why 6 of the biggest nations in the world licked us for 12 years to get this deal done .

we love india and we appreciate our relations , but even the talk of a foreign base in my homeland makes me go nuts . this is very insulting , please refrain from even talking about it again .

on topic : very good news for the whole region . kudos

The guy is a 24 carat moron who has no concept of what Iran is. Having grown up in India he thinks Iran is like Diego Garcia where his mummy and daddy can build bases.

i don't know what prejudice u have in your mind but i never told we should have naval ships in iran, what told is if we cant keep ships in iran it does not have any strategic importance in terms of DEFENCE, but yes it has strategic importance in terms on Economics.

Who told you chahbahar was about "defence"? if something is strategic, it does not necessary mean it is related to the military, does it? Bro, at least read a little on the matter.

its okey man . lets just forget about the whole thing already .

Indian is high on my list as a country to visit

We welcome you guys and every Iranian with open hearts to our incredible country. Trust me, it would feel like home.

Whole of India has a lot of Persian influence; our music, our cuisine, our language and our architecture all have Persian heritage in them.

Many of our Pakistani friends were jumping for joy thinking that Iran will now ask India to pack its bags and leave after they signed the nuclear deal! Now this news means more egg on their faces!! The way things are going, they'll need to start importing eggs from India!!

Ok, seriously, note the words, 'strategic port' in the report. That could even translate to establishing an Indian naval base there!

You are completely wrong, Its Pakistanis that admire Iranian foreign policies at most, we admit that Iran always prefer its national interest, You will never see Iran running behind great powers, its them which comes to Iran and seek her as their ally. I'm sure Iran will keep Indian activities on check as there are maximum chances of India to transfer necessary Intel of Iran to Israel.

What significant benefit do the Iranians get from allowing India to set up a Naval (or Air force) base in Iran?

Of course bro, our ties go back 5000 years if not longer. And now, we are rising together and we must help each other. Indians in general are very happy to see the rise of old Persia/ Iran. We need to help each other become the powers we once were. Any anyone who does not like that can just watch and weep.

yea these countries are different in weird sense any way, all i wish is they once the sanctions are lifted they give priorities to India same as they were giving during sanctions,and priorities i say in terms of economy and trade, like we should have
1) free trade agreement
2)we should be able to buy there oil with Rupee so that they can buy over heavy engineering products with our rupee again
3)visa on arrival

Nothing.. It will be just act as irritant for Iran-Pakistan relationship... In fact it will further complicate our own relationship with GCC states..

it does not matter whether he insults or not cause he seems to be prejudice and did not clearly read what i wrote.

You don't give enough credit to Iranians. Are they stupid to pass on some sensitive intel to us?

India - Israel and India - Iran are two different relationships and our Foreign office and Govt has made it clear that nothing will effect India - Iran friendship.

We stood with Iran in face of overwhelming US pressure so much so that US congress and senate were openly saying that why should US favor India when it refuses to suspend it's dealings with Iran. Please research a bit more on the topic.

India does not have any plans for such a thing, it's all just a conjecture and speculation hence the question of cost- benefit analysis does not arise. Even then Iran has nothing to gain from giving India a naval base.
