there are many on this forum who want to beleve that USA will oppose indo iran chahbahaar deal but they forget USA itself has done a deal with iran to lift sanctions on iran as USA itself wants a corridor to central asia thru iran
and we will make that happen no matter what people say or want to beleve
and india has already shared its views on it will all the relevent parties and Israel and saudi arabia and UAE about chahbahaar deal....
rest keep speculating but niether israel nor USA are against indo iran deal on chahbahaar corridoar
You just proved his point
The Taliban control Southern Afghanistan
I see pakistani members have wrong Impression about chahbahar link with Afghanistan. Thinking due to Afganistan as a link in b/w the chain this project is bound to fail (all thanks to their ally Taliban). But reality is v far from what they are dreaming.
All the routes for reaching to Afghanistan or Russia or C Asia are different.
Like for Russia and Europe It is :
The
International North–South Transport Corridor is the
ship,
rail, and
road route for moving freight between
India,
Russia,
Iran,
Europe and
Central Asia. The route primarily involves moving
freight from
India,
Iran,
Azerbaijan and
Russia via ship, rail and road. The objective of the corridor is to increase
trade connectivity between major cities such as
Mumbai,
Moscow,
Tehran,
Baku,
Bandar Abbas,
Astrakhan,
Bandar Anzali and etc.
Dry runs of two routes were conducted in 2014, the first was Mumbai to Baku via Bandar Abbas and the second was Mumbai to Astrakhan via Bandar Abbas, Tehran and Bandar Anzali.
and linking it further with
Ashgabat agreement
The
Ashgabat agreement (Hindi:
अश्गाबात समझौता), is a
Multimodal transport agreement signed by
India,
Oman,
Iran,
Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan and
Kazakhstan, for creating an
international transport and transit corridor facilitating transportation of goods between Central Asia and the Persian Gulf.
The objective of this agreement is to enhance connectivity within
Eurasian region and synchronize it with other transport corridors within that region including the International
North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
Connectivity
North–South Transport Corridor[edit]
For enhanced connectivity, the Ashgabat agreement will also synchronize with the International
North–South Transport Corridor encompassing
ship,
rail including
Trans-Caspian railway, and
road route for moving freight between
India,
Russia,
Iran,
Europe and
Central Asia. The route primarily involves moving
freight from
India,
Iran,
Azerbaijan and
Russia via ship, rail and road.

Eurasian Railway Connectivity[edit]
This agreement will also leverage the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan (TAT) rail line from 2013, Afghanistan-Turkmenistan-Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey transportation corridor in 2014, Iran-Turkmenistan-Kazakhstan railroad and TRACECA (Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia) comprising the EU and 14 Eastern European, South Caucasus and Central Asian states.
Hajigak–Chabahar railway[edit]
India is finalising a plan to construct a 900-km railway line that will connect
Chabahar port in Iran, being built with Indian help, to the mineral-rich
Hajigak region of Afghanistan
For Central Asia :

For India, a 70-km Iran rail line can open doors to Central Asia
A few years ago, fertiliser major Iffco dabbled with the idea of sourcing rock phosphate from Kazakhstan, which sits on 2 billion tonnes of the mineral.
But the Indian cooperative giant had to drop the plan midway discouraged by the high cost of logistics. Iffco is not alone; several Indian companies had to drop plans to trade with Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan. But not any longer, it seems.
A proposed 70-km railway line in an obscure patch of northern Iran could change all that.
Once ready, the railroad could help India save crores of rupees in logistics to Central Asia, the 55-million-people market. One of the most prosperous and fastest growing regions in the world, Central Asia is a key source for uranium and fertilisers.
The line links the Iranian city of Gorgan to the Iran-Turkmenistan border. Gorgan lies 400 km away from Iran’s capital, Tehran, and is some 30 km from the Caspian Sea.
The line will link another recently-built railroad that goes right up to Uzen town in southern Kazakhstan.
For Afganistan :
Most imp. everyone missed by connecting Afghanistan to chahbhar will give Afghanistan one more way to connect to the world, will led to end of pakistan blackmail to both Afghanistan and US-Nato (reason behind US supporting it ) and US aid to pakistan both all together. Infact Afghanistan will have a upper hand on pak, closing its electricity supply and CAsia reach at will.
