Pakistan loses ground to India in Iran ties
On December 14, Iran announced that it had suspended a 250-million-dollar loan to Pakistan to build a part of the Iran-Pipeline project, which will allow Pakistan to import 21.5 million cubic meters (mcm) per day of Iranian natural gas to satisfy its growing energy needs.
Deputy Oil Minister Ali Majedi told Pakistani officials that, due to sanctions, Iran was not in a position to finance the construction of a pipeline in another country. He advised the Pakistanis to get help from third-party companies, especially European firms.
The Iranian official complained that Islamabad had done little to construct its own section of the pipeline.
"If a contractor is chosen today and pipeline construction begins today, it will take four years to complete it," said Majedi, adding that if Pakistan fails to import the gas by the end of 2014, Iran will demand compensation under the terms of the contract.
Majedi dismissed the Pakistani allegation that the anti-Iran sanctions were causing hindrances in the construction.
"Such remarks are unacceptable and Pakistan is expected to meet its obligations in this contract," Majedi said.
Iran has already built more than 900 km of the pipeline on its territory but Islamabad has so far failed to look for the required funding for the project, due to the threat of sanctions from the US, even though the pipeline agreement stipulates that Pakistan must finish its side of the facility by December 2014.
Washington has tried to persuade Islamabad to accept to take part in a project to build a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and on to South Asia, including Pakistan. It has also been promoting the Central Asia South Asia Electricity Trade and Transmission Project (CASA-1000), which would allow Pakistan and Afghanistan to buy electricity from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Some Pakistani experts have criticized the Pakistani government by claiming that actually the US depends on Pakistan on many issues: from the successful withdrawal from Afghanistan to the fight against international terrorism, and it is unlikely that Washington will put these links at risk by passing sanctions against Islamabad. In this way, by submitting to US pressure, Pakistan is showing that it is an unreliable partner. With this attitude, the Pakistani government is undermining its country's interests.
The pipeline is considered vital to Pakistan's economy and has been designed to help the nation overcome its growing energy needs at a time when it faces extreme power shortages and blackouts in rural areas and cities, severely damaging its industrial development. To make matters worse, Pakistan was reported last month to have built nuclear weapons for Saudi Arabia, which would be a threat for Iran, and to be ready to ship them. However, it would not be so easy to ship them across the Arabian Sea. Moreover, Riyadh, as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, would risk world condemnation, probable sanctions and the launch of a regional arms race.
However, the publication of this news has highlighted the close links between the Pakistani government and the Saudi monarchy, which gave Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaf Sharif political asylum for several years following the 1999 military coup that overthrew him.
In November, a new mysterious Salafi group calling itself the "Jaishul al Adl" (Army of the Justice) carried out an attack in the Iranian province of Sistan-and-Baluchestan. It was the first terrorist action in the region after the arrest of Abdul Malik Rigi by the Iranian authorities. Rigi was the leader of the Jundollah terrorist group, which attacked Iran militarily from the Pakistani territory before being destroyed by Iranian forces in 2010.
The November attack resulted in the death of 16 Iranian soldiers. French sources, well-informed about the dossier of the terrorist Salafi groups that are supported by Saudi Arabia, told Lebanese channel Al-Manar that Saudi Arabia had ordered the attack, and that this new group was only the fruit of the Saudi violent approach toward Iran and the regional axis allied with it, that is, Syria, Iraq and Hezbollah. These sources also accused the Pakistani intelligence, in conjunction with the Saudi intelligence, of creating and activating this group.
The French sources told Al-Manar that the Saudi intelligence had recently spent huge amounts of money to fund the Jaishul al Adl group, but the weak human Saudi resources do not allow the Saudi intelligence to take direct care of this group. This might have led the Saudis to employ the Pakistani intelligence to do so.
Due to all these factors, Pakistan is now not in a good position to take advantage of the new position of Iran in the region after the signature of the nuclear deal. The Pakistani government's doubts about the pipeline contract and its submission to the US and Saudi Arabia are damaging its links with its neighbor and prevent it from collecting the accompanying benefits of Iran's future development.
For its part, India, Pakistan's rival, has welcomed the nuclear deal struck by Iran and the world's six major powers in November 2013, which it hopes will eventually lead to the lifting of anti-Iranian sanctions.
India imported 11.6 billion dollars of Iranian oil in fiscal year 2012-2013 and it is Iran's second-largest oil customer. Some of this trade is conducted in Indian rupees. For years, India has pursued a policy of studied neutrality between the US and Iran. Under US pressure, India has kept buying oil from Iran but has diminished its acquisitions. However, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram indicated in August that India wanted to buy more Iranian crude to offset the hit that oil imports impose on India's international balance of payments.
Iranian imports also help the Indian rupee to keep its value. Indian businessmen and politicians are now optimistic. Over the last year, India had tried to boost exports such as rice, automobile parts and pharmaceuticals to Iran to use up the rupees lying in Indian banks. Businessmen were also looking at making investments in the country. The head of the Federation of Indian Export Organizations, Rafique Ahmed, said, "That can be possible now, going from trade to investment."
"The nuclear deal has also created a new atmosphere for the Peace Pipeline via Pakistan," said Chintamani Mahapatra of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Although India walked away from talks on the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) Peace Pipeline citing security concerns, Iranian Deputy Minister for International and Commercial affairs Ali Majedi, said that he hopes that New Delhi will overcome its doubts and join the project. India may consider a modified version of the plan to pump Iranian natural gas through an under-sea pipeline in order to avoid the Pakistani territory.
Strategically, it is important for India to maintain a close relationship with Tehran. India and Iran oppose a Taliban government in Kabul and could coordinate their political positions to prevent it. Iran is India's only corridor for land access to Afghanistan through which most of Indian assistance to Afghanistan could be transported.
India, Iran and Afghanistan have reached an agreement to develop Iran's Chabahar port, on the Gulf of Oman, aimed at giving India access not only to Afghanistan but also to the resource-rich landlocked countries of Central Asia. The agreement is ready and could be signed soon. India and Iran had agreed to develop the port in southeastern Iran in 2003, during a visit to India by then Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, but the venture did not make much progress.
Nevertheless, New Delhi has recently allotted 100 million dollars for the port's development and is now looking for a trilateral arrangement with Iran and Afghanistan for a customs and transit agreement. At the same time, India, which has the second Shia population in the world, has been the target of Takfiri extremist groups in Mumbai and other places. Despite numerous problems, the country has an exemplary record of intra-communal harmony and can work with Iran in order to prevent the blight of Takfirism from expanding eastward.
Some Indian analysts fear that if a final deal between Iran and the West is reached on the nuclear issue, the sanctions are lifted and the country completely returns to the global oil market, India's appeal as trade partner might diminish and Iran might stop accepting Indian rupees as a payment for its crude, an aspect being favorable to India. However, in the immediate run, India would benefit from a possible solution to the problem of the insurance of the Iranian oil.
Israel will also try to hinder the pace of India's anticipated expansion of ties with Iran by using its bilateral military and intelligence cooperation with New Delhi. Israel has served as a key source of high technology for India's military modernization, often with US approval. Israeli influence will be undermined, however, by the fact that the US is now looking to engage India directly in a military relationship, which includes the co-development of weapons systems.
Indeed, the US's plan to expand its defense cooperation with India - as another step to contain and encircle China - is already starting to impact New Delhi's military relationship with Israel. For instance, India has put off a decision on buying Israeli-made Spike anti-tank missiles because of an American offer to co-develop the next generation of the Javelin missiles.
Moreover, Israel has also been losing Indian contracts in recent years due to frequent delays and cost rises. In this way, an Indian decision to buy two additional AWACS Phalcons from Israel has been delayed because of cost considerations.
In short, despite being a Muslim-majority country, Pakistan's illogical foreign policy has been preventing a rapprochement with Iran. Pakistan's close relationship with Saudi Arabia, its submission to US policies and its support for Taliban and other extremist groups have made India a more attractive choice for Iran in the economic and strategic fields. This situation will also undermine the future position of Pakistan in Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Iran and India are much closer to each other than India and Israel.
I am not trying to be anti-American or anti-Israel, I state only this - that Iran is a greater power than ANY of you can possibly imagine. It would be unwise to earn its adversity, and a great thing indeed to earn its friendship

India exploring Azerbaijan-Iran road route for trade with CIS
New Delhi: India is exploring using the existing road link between Rasht in Iran and Astara, Azerbaijan, to get easier access to the lucrative markets of Russia and other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) nations, as a proposal to build a rail link between the two places is taking more time than expected.
The commerce ministry has asked Freight Forwarders' Association of India (FFAI) to conduct a dry run to study the feasibility of using the road route between the two places. "We are trying to completely explore the route through a cost benefit analysis. The idea is to use the infrastructure as it is present today. The plan to build the rail is going on separately," a commerce ministry official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We are trying to find out why businesses do not use the existing road link. What are the problems and concerns of businesses. The Freight Forwarders' Association of India will submit the report by end February or March."- An FFAI official confirmed it is undertaking a dry run in the route. He, too, declined to be named.
India is trying to persuade Iran to build a 165km rail link between Rasht and Astara, a connection that will help Asia's third biggest economy access the markets of the CIS and Russia. India currently uses the Suez Canal to reach the landlocked CIS countries. If the rail link is built, goods from India can be ferried through Iran into the CIS countries using the Bandar Abbas port, which will reduce the distance drastically.
Exploring the road link to boost trade with the region is a good move since the main problem is the lack of infrastructure and information gap, according to Ram Upendra Das, a senior fellow at Research and Information System for Developing Countries. "It is very important to keep India economically engaged in the region because there is a lot of untapped potential. Irrespective of our economic relationship with other countries, this would be a new region to expand our trade," Das said. "The study could be useful for business communities of both sides."
In a recent study on enhancing India's trade with Russia, the Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) said that while India's ranking in Russia's export market improved from the 24th position in 2001 to the 21st position in 2012, its ranking as an import partner for Russia declined from 19 in 2001 to 22 in 2012. Russia maintains a trade surplus with India, which rose from"‚$575 million in 2001 to $2.2 billion in 2012 as a result of a sharp fivefold rise in Russia's exports to India from $1.1 billion to $5.1 billion in that period.
Fertilizers are the largest items in Russia's exports basket to India, accounting for around 21% of the total exports from India in 2012, up from 9% in 2001. Pharmaceutical products dominate Russia's imports from India, accounting for as much as one-fourth of its imports from India in 2012. India is the third largest source of pharmaceuticals for Russia, after Germany and France, with a share of 6% of Russia's total imports in 2012.
For India, Russia ranks as the second largest market for pharmaceuticals after the US, accounting for around 7.8% of India's total exports in 2012.
Other major items in Russia's import basket from India include electrical and electronic equipment, iron and steel, coffee and tea, machinery, apparel and accessories, and miscellaneous edible preparations. Although India's exports to Russia has been increasing, India needs to export more to bridge the widening trade deficit, said David Sinate, chief general manager of Exim Bank of India.
"In Russia's import basket, India's share of pharmaceuticals is coming down, which means other countries are exporting larger amount of pharmaceuticals to Russia," Sinate said. "Similarly, in textiles also, while our exports to Russia are rising, our share in the Russian textile import basket is coming down."

Iran looking at exporting natural gas to India via deep sea
On exporting liquefied natural gas to India, Ansari stressed the need for acquiring LNG technology in order to win a share in export markets
Iran is focusing on exporting natural gas to India along a deep-sea route, its Ambassador to India Gholam Reza Ansari said today.
"Indians are looking for deep-sea natural gas pipeline which seems to be feasible with regard to investment and available technology. We are seeing how we can go about this project," Ansari told reporters on the sidelines of an interactive programme organised by Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) here.
On exporting liquefied natural gas to India, Ansari stressed the need for acquiring LNG technology in order to win a share in export markets.
"As far as LNG is concerned, it is a matter of technology. We haven't been able to fulfill the technology in our country," he said. "Companies who are capable in this field we would be definitely interested to welcome them in Iran," he said.
Ansari said Iran is looking at diversifying its economic relations with India apart from doing business in oil and energy sectors.
"Iran is looking at diversifying its economic relations with India through joint ventures, investments and technology transfer," he added.
India and Iran are the most natural economic partners and much closer in economical relations, he said.

This is agreeable..bypass the devious pakis. Naive iranians were not believing India when we said pakis cant be trusted for half a second let alone one second. Now they are seeing the light! Remember pakistan was created to cut off trade between west and south asia so there masters will never allow trade to happen through them because then what is purpose of pakis for them ?

mate , iran is not waiting for anyone to show her the finger . we'll actually cut that finger
i agree there are some problems regarding pakistan terrorism threatening iran and all the neighbors even afghanistan
but that being said , pakistani govt is in no position to mess with iran , they already deep in shyt and are in odds with all of their neighbors .
so they seek more legitimacy rather than Bull shyt about iran .
anyhow iran knows whats going on , we are capable of realizing that pakistan (if the govt doesnt change ASAP) is in trouble .
our recent pushes for better ties with india has nothing to do with this fact too
under sea pipeline line is progressing step by step, more than the pipeline, the palnning and survey takes more time in undersea pipelines. but UK and norway pipeline is a good example of this. this pipe line will finish withing this decade.

India and Iran both are ancient civilizations with long history of trade and cooperation. There is no reason to not deal with Iran. Why should India lose an old friend and neighbor(Iran) just because a zionist can not live in peace with Ancient Iranian civilization. India has an independent foreign policy and it can not dictated by any zionist war monger.

What ugly and pejorative things to say: "zionist", "warmonger"-- complete projection on your part.
Didn't we hear Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threaten Israel for years with being "wiped off the map"?
Here is a countering and well explained view of Iran.
