[Fireurimagination]

Just curious how is this port visit related to religion?

For them everything is related to religion

In a bid to strengthen bilateral ties with Iran, two Indian Naval Warships -INS Betwa and INS Beas – today sailed into the Bandar-e-Abbas port and will hold joint sea exercises.

The visit comes days after an Indian warship anchored at Israel’s Haifa port. During their five-day stay in Iran, the ships will hold various interactions with their Iranian Navy counterparts and joint exercises at sea.

The visit would also include training and sports events between the two navies.

This deployment would add another chapter to the cordial relations and defence cooperation between India and Iran, an Indian Navy statement said.

INS Betwa and INS Beas, both are indigenously designed and built Guided Missile Frigates of the Brahmaputra Class.

The 125-metres long ships displace 3,600 tonnes and are capable of operating at extended ranges, with speeds up to 30 knots.

They have state-of-the-art sensor suites and an impressive weapon package, including long range surface-to-surface missiles and anti-missile defence systems.

Their combat capability is further augmented by the capability to embark two multi-mission capable Seaking helicopters.

The ships have completed over a decade of service with the Indian Navy. INS Betwa is presently commanded by Captain KM Ramakrishnan and INS Beas is commanded by Captain Deepak Bhatia.

Iran and India relationship is centuries old and contemporary relation is characterised by interactions in the fields of commerce, energy and education.

“It has been India’s national objective to ensure a secure and stable regional environment, which is conducive for economic and social development not just at home, but also in immediate and extended neighbourhood.

“The Indian Navy, while shouldering its security responsibilities, is committed to these objectives and has been contributing towards humanitarian assistance, capacity building and capability enhancement of friendly foreign countries when so needed,” the statement said.

Iran, India to Stage Joint Military Drill
August 29, 2015 - 13:03
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A senior Iranian Navy commander announced that Iran and India will stage joint naval exercises in the near future.

“A joint military exercise by Iran and India will be staged in the Persian Gulf (south of Iran) and the Indian Ocean in coming days,” Commander of Iran's First Naval Zone Admiral Amir Hossein Azad made the remarks on Friday one day after an Indian Navy fleet docked at Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, the provincial capital of Hormozgan province, for a 5-day stay.

Azad added that Iran and India play a key role in ensuring the security of the high seas, adding that the Indian naval personnel on board the warships are scheduled to hold joint military exercises with Iran’s Navy on the last day of their stay in the province.

He went on to say that the two countries enjoy numerous commonalities, adding that such cooperation can boost military ties between the two nations.

Also on Friday, Indian Defense Ministry issued a statement and said that the fleet entered Iran as part of a “goodwill visit to strengthen the bilateral relations” between the two countries.

"It has been India's national objective to ensure a secure and stable regional environment, which is conducive for economic and social development not just at home, but also in immediate and extended neighborhood," the Defense Ministry further said in the statement.

"The Indian Navy, while shouldering its security responsibilities, is committed to these objectives and has been contributing towards humanitarian assistance, capacity building and capability enhancement of friendly foreign countries when so needed," it added.

@Arminkh
You try to improve ties with India if your neighbor muslims country is strong opponent.
You strike Isreal tyranny against Palestinian muslims and keep blind eye towards muslims of kashmir,
Why.
@Shamain @fakhre mirpur @DESERT FIGHTER @Zarvan @Icarus

Then why you and PGCC gave air port and military base to USA and Nato , they were and are our enemy .... why Iran should be the only Muslim country who care about Ummah while you sunni countries even don't recognize it as Muslim country !?

دوری و دوستی ...

PS. Iran is not the only Islamic country that has good ties with India. Most of Islamic countries have good ties with India.

Actually, every Islamic country has friendly relations with India, with the one obvious exception.

PPS. our relations with India goes back to centuries ago... . (the same as our relations with you Pakistanis)

Scratch that, and make it millennia. The ties between Iranian and Indian people go back for at least 5,000 years, and that is just the recorded history. There is enough circumstantial evidence to speculate that our ties are even more ancient - religiously, socially, racially, spiritually, economically and historically.

But many Pakistanis know nothing about this historical continuum, they are taught that they are descended from Arabs, and that Bin Qasim was the founder of "Pakistan". Just now, on another thread, a Pakistani was saying that Pakistan is the successor state of the Mughal empire.

They are taught to believe a history that pretends that their country has a historic identity separate from their neighbours, although the reality is way different.

All that being said we havnt ever allowed either israel or saudia arabia to use our territory official through government support, while u have allowed indians to build roads,, rails, and invest in a port which is just 180 miles away from our port from which indians have publicly raised concerns. How would u feel if in future we allow israel/saudia arabia to do the same very very close to yr borders? U have even allowed them to open a conciliate in Zahidan which has a direct road-rail link with Quetta and through that they have been involved in subversive activities in Baluchistan. While now u have crossed all lines and have invited their navy in yr port and r going to have joint exercises.

Yeah, you haven't allowed Saudi or Iran to use your territory, but you have allowed the USA to do so. Not just to transport soldiers and arms and ammunition to attack Afghanistan, but also allowed them to build military bases in Paksitan from which to bomb your neighbours and your own people. Iran is letting India build roads and rails and ports for the mutual benefit of Iranians and Indians; you are slavishly letting USA (and in your hopes, China) to build military bases in your territory, when USA and Iran were sworn enemies, and the USA was waging war against a neighoring muslim country.

So please spare us this cr@p about your goal being the spread of your religion, and so on. You have given far more access to Iran's foes than Iran has to yours. You have let America use your territory (and your soldiers) to wage war on your neighbours. Iran wouldn't stoop that low. In fact, no self respecting nation would.

And then you have the audacity to preach to Iranians about spreading religion being your motive.

Unfortunately Pakistanis think Islamic countries must sacrifice all of their interests because of Kashmir.

Btw despite political enimity of Pakistan against Iran, Iran has always supported Kashmir.
Searching on Google will help.

Iran says will continue supporting Kashmiris -

PS. I'm sure if Pakistanis were in our shoes and we were in bed with Saudis and Americans against them, they would never support our country's interests. They are our political enemy and at the same time they expect Iran to be we be their boy friend.

Then why you and PGCC gave air port and military base to USA and Nato , they were and are our enemy .... why Iran should be the only Muslim country who care about Ummah while you sunni countries even don't recognize it as Muslim country !?

Pakistan has a long record of anti Iranian actions.

I think they meant political support, not material support. Material support they can do themselves, probably more effectively than Iran. But lack of political support at UN or from neighboring Afghanistan, Iran means they can't really make it a case. But either way, the territory is disputed and many countries willing to go to war over them, so it is dangerous situation and not much one can do to claim it. The only possiblity at this moment is independence of Kashmiri's and end of adminstration from India, China, Pak. Which is unlikely to happen.

Don't say like that!
They have ruled over us for 1000 years!

Make up your mind, on one hand Pakistan is hosting enemies of Iran, on other Pakistan hosting enemies of USA. Pakistan has interests in Afghanistan, yes, but with regards to NATO war there, they couldn't have opposed world post 9/11. Especially when no countries voiced opposition to the war on Afghanistan. US and Iran aren't sworn enemies, please don't get me started.... that's far from the truth. In reality they share mutual interests in the Arab world.

The 2 ships sent now are just tip of the iceberg...bigger classes like the Shivalik, Talwar, and Kolkata could/will follow.

Within the next decade, Iran is going to regain it's stature as the major military power in the Gulf, no other Middle-Eastern
country (except Israel) has the kind of scientists, commitment and determination to pursue domestic research and development as Iran does...and I think the Iranian Navy will play a huge role (maybe even the most important role) in cementing Iran's strategic reach and control over the Persian Gulf region. I believe increased cooperation with a close Blue-Water Navy like that of India's would really help. Maybe we can even support their warship developments, provide any space-based navigation/surveillance support or anything else. Case in point, I hope IrNavy will soon return the visit and come participate in exercises with InNavy's carrier group in the Arabian Sea - I think that would be a real message that Iran is ready to flex its muscles into the Arabian Sea and not be confined to the Persian Gulf.

However I'm pretty sure India will always do it's best to manage that relations with everyone in the M-E (Iran, Israel and KSA) are properly balanced so that one need not get uncomfortable due to ties with the other - this balance has been
maintained so far despite massive international pressure and will be continued & improved now that the sanctions are
over and proper trade and co-op can begin!
