Iran says offers India bigger role in strategic port | Reuters

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

I agree - it would drive Pakistan to more openly align with Saudi Arabia, UAE etc. and any hint of Iranian support for violence in Balochistan (indirectly in terms of ignoring Indian activities out of Iran) would have a significant blow-back in Iran's own Sistan province, which the Saudis would be more than willing to fund.

Iran has no disputes with India and Indian businesses can invest significant amounts in Iran (once sanctions are lifted) so it makes sense for Iran to invite Indian investment. I don't however see the Iranians getting involved in an anti-Pakistan military relationship with India, provided Pakistan continues with a balanced relationship with Iran and Saudi Arabia.

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

Yup it is possible. . you shouldn't forget about their history. . they have reputation unlike other states.. who can sell land for gifts...Iran will not do that... I think they will give us more priority as we supported them during the sanctions. .

Thats the key for us as well.

Nicely analyzed. The future lies in trade and commerce. Military dimensions were not ever a factor in India- Iran relationship.

I sincerely hope that Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline works out as it would bring much needed oil to both our energy starved countries and at the same time make the pipeline financially viable. In addition having India invested in Pakistan has other benefits too for Pakistan as man of your intelligence can well extrapolate.

If Pakistan continued to act wisely like it did by not participating in Yemen issue then its reward giving policy change for them

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.
.

Actually, I was crediting india, you guys are good at Intelligence gathering and your policy makers don't think for a second to use it against anyone for your national interest. Then Iran want to maintain equally warm ties with China, another reason for Iran to keep Indian activities on check. You do have to respect their interests, Thats what bilateral relation are all about.

@OrionHunter @saurav

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

Those six big nations spend years to convince the Iranian Republic .Now you are saying that thry allow a foreign nation in their land ??
Funny .

Dude this is Iran not Pakistan.Both of them are very different.

 

[Sipahi]

Hahahahaha ... Indianssss lol... They are asking 8,10 billions from you... If China come up with 20 billions ??? What will you do ?

 

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

Thats the key for us as well.

Agree - at the end of the day both India and Pakistan stand to benefit economically from an Iran that is no longer under sanctions. Instability in Iran would therefore hurt the economic interests of both countries, in addition to causing increased instability in Pakistan in some situations.

In my view the Indian government is smart enough to realize that it doesn't need to involve Iran in India-Pakistan tensions, given its ability to do so out of Afghanistan - and yes, I know Indians publicly at least disagree with the Pakistani position of Indian support for the TTP and Baloch terrorists, but I'm bringing up this point for the sake of argument to reflect a 'worst case scenario'.

Good news we must move fast on Chabahar and all other projects that were held up due to sanctions

You didn't get the context of the comment did you?
