Defence co-operation might not be buying 'always' I think. It could be also intelligence gathering, sharing, Joint ventures, Tech share and stuff....We can sell them Dhruvs too.
But what is the benefit for Indian interest? The whole point on us opposing the UN sanctions on Iran, are our interests in oil. But buying oil to fulfill our requirements is one thing, selling Iran weapons is a whole different story and would clearly not be beneficiary for us. Joint developments are even less interesting, since Iran is not even close to be on par with the techs we could have from our current partner countries, or even that we develop on our own.
It's understandable that Iran is looking for some options to improve their capabilities, but that's not going to happen with India, since it would hurt more more and not benefit us!
The whole point us opposing Iran in UN was pressure from US and nothing else. Though I agree with rest of the facts.
Baring everything else, India might gain something from Iran with respect to Afghanistan as they do have some shots that we can use.
Thats all I could see. By selling them some weapons or sharing some tech with them if we can get Iran to play a bigger role in A'stan then I guess we have another supporter on the table. That would be interesting isnt it?
