In my opinion the west has still not been able to digest the Iranian Revolution. Its high time they move on. They could not stop Pakistan and North Korea from acquiring nuclear weapons and forcing Iran to abandon their nuclear program is nothing but bullying. Also the ISIS has brought the west to the ground realities and suddenly they see an ally in Iran and Syria against ISIS against whom they were planning attacks not long ago. Unfortunately Indian leadership has not been strong enough to through her weight to keep the west off from the region. Iran offers tremendous opportunity for India. The Chabahar could be India's gateway to Central Asia bringing immense business and strategic opportunities. India and Iran can cooperate in space and technology sectors and invest in each other. Both the countries will hold the key to sustained peace and prosperity of Afghanistan once US withdraws from the region. If India and Iran became strategic partners, together they can ensure peace and stability in South, Central and West Asia.
Although the West is acting tough on Iran, the latter should not get entrapped in their design by making an ego issue. Military power does not give you any respect in the world but economic power takes you to the top. Given the fast changing world order Iran should allign with the change, get into the ivy league and then no one can do a thing. India can be an interlocutor for detente between the west and Iran and this will see a flurry of economic activities in Iran and by Iran and both India and Iran can make the most of the opportunity.
