After removal of sanctions, Chabahar port will also have a development boom. Both Gwadar and Chabahar can become huge economic hubs without colliding each others' areas of activity. While Gwadar can be shortest route for China to export goods to Persian gulf (and even exporting goods to Iran itself through road and railroad), Chabahar can be easiest way for any country to reach Afghanistan, Central Asia Turkey and Russia. Be it China, India or other Asian countries.
So if there is a proper infrastructure in Pakistan, including roads and rail roads, it will also benefit Iran, since we can reach China and vice versa much easier.
A thriving economic region in Gwadar will help Iran's southeastern regions to thrive too, considering that we have more funds than Pakistan and also we have energy, we can help Pakistan by exporting electricity and natural has. This is a win-win situation.
Dubai might be a loser in middle of all this though.
Well said! Hope the process of integration can go faster. Ports, rail, expressways, power grids, oil/gas pipe-lines and others would largely enhance connectivity and boost trade. With sanctions lifted, AIIB founder-status and possibly even SCO membership, Iran would definitely get more integrated in the fast developing Eurasian economic bloc.
The recent development in Iran-Pakistan pipeline is a very good sign, things are moving on the right track now!
