I am a die hard PTI supporter and fan of IK long before he went into politics but if the government gave transit to India they would lose my support.Maybe, but as India needs the Chahbar port it's highly unlikely that India will bring the buying to 0. Thus the chances of new negotiations being on is more likely. US tried to get India route to Afghanistan through Pakistan so that India can ditch both oil and Chahbar but you guys declined the same. So, now India has its excuses for Uncle Sam, get us the transit or we cannot help it.
As regards Uncle Sam the question you have to ask is very simple. Why did Trump go back on nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions? The reason is simple. He wants Tehran to feel the American blade cut into the bone. Superficial cuts as have been inflicted on Iran by US have done nothing to Iran. So what gash will be deep enough to cut into the bone? Hurting Iranian oil exports because that is where Iran draws most of it's exports at over 80%.
The biggest buyers are -
Therefore it is very simple. Cut down Iranian oil exports and Tehran will hurt like never before. To do this Trump is not going lean on Somalia, Maldives, Timor as they don't buy any Iranian oil anyway. To hurt Iran Trump has to ask the countries that buy Iranian oil which of course by default keep the mullah regime intact. Off the bat China will be a struggle to comply to Washington's wishes. Next on the list is India. Now if India is given leave all the rest will also ask for leave. Thus actually making mockery of the sanctions. It's no point in locking a door but then for access giving the keys to all and sundry.
You might as well not lock the door or in this case what was the point of going back on the nuclear deal !
Love has consequences ...You only get Trumps unfiltered love.
