India’s foot-dragging caused utter failure in Iran’s Chabahar

[Dariush the Great]

India has emerged as the sore loser of recent developments in Afghanistan if one considers New Delhi’s foot-dragging on a major port project in southeastern Iran, a policy that was meant to comply with US sanctions, says an analyst.

Sanjay Kapoor wrote in his article for Hardnews on Monday that the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan had left India with almost nothing from Chabahar port development, a joint project with Iran which was meant to facilitate trade from the Indian Ocean to Central Asia.

“The huge Chabahar Port project in Iran, meant to allow India to side-step Pakistan and take the land route to Afghanistan and Central Asia, seems like a dead investment now — a dream gone sour” read part of the analysis.

Kapoor said that India was to blame for delays in finishing the Chabahar project as the country decided to adopt an overcautious approach to avoid potential penalties from US regime of sanctions on Iran.

Iran has yet to sign a 10-year deal to award terminal operations to India in Chabahar port.

That comes as Washington has provided India with sufficient waivers from the sanctions to allow works to continue in Chabahar.

“The current government in Delhi did not want to do anything to antagonize the US government after it had imposed sanctions on Iran,” wrote Kapoor, adding that the US is now partnering with Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan to set up a new "connectivity route" in the region.

Iran has been unhappy with the way India has tried to comply with US sanctions. Quotes from Iranian sources in Hardnews article showed that India’s foot-dragging on Iranian projects, including on a major gas field development work in the Persian Gulf, had also caused enough irritation Tehran.

I cannot wait for Gwadar and Chabahar, two sister ports, to operate as two limbs of the same body. We are not competitors. We are allies. More power to Pakistan Iran relations. Under the umbrella of OBOR/CPEC Pakistan and Iran will expand trade and other relations.

As for India, humiliated and defeated it has lost all regional allies. Today India is a loser lapdog of US and Western nations. Its sole task to contain dragon China. As the region decides to join hands, India stands all alone as a spoiler. China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan will join hands and work for regional cooperation. Today the spoilers stand defeated and the way to security and prosperity is open.

For every 10 corporate jobs in this project 50 will be RAW agents

Who will primarily help create Insurgency in Balochistan (that can and will spill over to Iran side too)

And maybe to curry favor as in to get some Israeli tech

give info to Israel

It's not really foot-dragging. It is just their normal speed.

Maybe the Iranian port project was only launched to get Saudi investment in India?

Risk benefit. There is absolutely zero benefit in risking US sanctions and importing oil. And don't want our corporations to end up like Huawei.

India- Happy

Win-Win situation for everyone involved

 

[Chhatrapati]

And if going by your post

What Chabahar port has to do with everyone being happy?

There are nations that continued to trade and deal with Iran in defiance of US sanctions. Even tiny Iraq managed to cut a deal with the US to import electricity from Iran. Are you going to tell me you are even more incompetent and slave alike than the Iraqis?

US specifically sanctioned oil trade. The whole point of sanctions is to hurt you economically and you're not going to earn billions exporting electricity to a war torn country. And no, US is our largest export partner, at the end of the day, we have our economy to worry about.

China is continuing to buy oil from Iran. I don't see the US having the courage to slap sanctions on them. If you are too weak and scared to risk your US investment because of Chahbahar then why all the bravado then?

Most chinese companies have state backing and a 3trillion reserve made from sir plus trade, meanwhile the largest refinery in India is privately owned unlike Chinese oil giants. Forget India, why your next door neighbor does not import a drop of oil or petrol from you? Your oils are at the risk of being captured from open sea by US troops. I don't understand why some Iranians think India should risk US sanctions.

It's fairly obvious that it's their QUAD ally the US which they have taken into confidence. They deemed Iran would be a headache to deal with, so they acted in their interests.
Iran should fall back on traditional ties.

That's not true.
