Major Gradual policy shift of KSA and UAE towards east

Pakistan is not close to Saudis and UAE after this

If the GCC’s interests align more with China and India threatens those interests we could see a reversal in short order. Besides, India would probably shift back to buying Iranian oil once the sanctions are lifted, because many Indian refineries are set up / optimized to process the kind of oil Iran produces.

You also forget the kind of leverage China can still have over Iran. Iran signed a $400 Billion / 25 years deal with China. China could use its leverage to end the war in Yemen on terms favorable with the Saudis. The Chinese could even fund a pipeline from Sudan through Southern Yemen (on to Oman and Gwadar and a line to China) to create a stable transit fee based economy for Yemen, and use it as leverage to get the two warring sides to negotiate a lasting peace.

If Iran does not listen to USA why would they listen to China ? The whole idea behind doing business with China is that you do not listen to stuff they hear from America. If China is going to preach why bother doing business with them ?

Who gives a shxt about that..

It is like India mourning Pakistan revoking sindh provincial status? Some Pakistani trolls are mischevious and hype any propaganda to the point where they can sell anything but normal people don't follow that..

For all I care India could revoke all her provinces provincial status what is inside India is India.. Besides Some Pakistanis have normalized bypassing India's sovereignty and making legitimately territorial claim on them to the point where it reaches insanity but to be fair there should be more claim on Delhi and Agra as these two cities are historical. Jammu holds no significiance but Delhi and Agra does and these were sort of invaded territories but still my heart earn for them

Above all China wants stability in the region so it can see ROI on its investments. It doesn’t need Iran to go back into sanctions. The 25 year deal between Iran and China includes upgrading Iranian Oil production but also $120 Billion in investment into Iran’s manufacturing industry. With Russia severely effects by the sanctions, at best Russia will be a supplier of some industrial equipment and mostly Military equipment to Iran (because China would rather sell to the GCC) once the sanctions are lifted. Iran may buy the S-400 and possibly even the Su-57.

Europe will probably sell consumer products, and help modernize some industries, but the scale of investment and technology China is willing to offer Iran is probably enough to make the Iranians think twice before upsetting the regional stability China looks to be setting up.

For Iran and the GCC, deals with China can be mutually beneficial, as both the Iranians and the Arabs want to diversify their economies (such as NEOM in Saudi Arabia), and the Chinese may want to end their need to import coal from places like Australia, that could become potentially hostile in the future, as seen by the AUKUS deal. Natural gas for example, if a whole lot less polluting then coal, so it can help China bridge to its goal of carbon neutrality by 2060.

It's India's interests to have a cooperative relationship with the Eurasian states including Russia, China, Pakistan, Iran, etc. Otherwise it will be completely isolated and contained in its own neighborhood. That is why joining the Quad and squarely joining the Western camp for India is literal suicide.

I see India soon re-aligning itself again to take a more neutral stance and moving towards more cooperation and integration with Eurasia.
