India is always confused when it does things, and it is clear that it is still in the "honeymoon period" with the United States, but it wants to go to Iran, but it does not know that it will provoke a country that should not be provoked.
According to Iranian media reports, India spent $370 million to sign Iran's Chabahar port, which Iran used for 10 years in exchange for India's strategic equipment supply and infrastructure construction. Iran's abacus is also loud enough, Iran, which has been sanctioned by the United States, has no way to import some of the key equipment needed to build the port, but India is different, India, which has been praised by Western countries led by the United States, what does it want? Iran is clearly using India to break through the US blockade and build its own ports. This can be seen from the fact that Iran only gave India the right to operate for 10 years, Iran is picking wool, who doesn't know, with the speed of infrastructure construction of the Indians, I am afraid that the port should be covered and left as soon as it is repaired.
But the Americans saw it and directly released threatening remarks to sanction India. It has to be said that India will pick its time, and the recent tensions between Israel and Iran have led to tensions, and the United States, as Israel's most loyal supporter and "Israel's follower," has to scramble to help Israel wipe its ass. At this time, India is cooperating with Iran, and even knows that it is helping Iran to take advantage of the loopholes of US sanctions, and it is still "committing crimes against the wind", so even if the United States is not angry, Israel behind the United States must also give India some color.
Interestingly, Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said in response to the US threat that the US should not look at the matter from a "narrow lens". The implication is that the United States is somewhat narrow-minded. Subsequently, the Indian foreign minister explained that the cooperation project to win the port of Chabahar in Iran is to counter China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative and China's Gwadar port project in Pakistan. It is hard to imagine that India will one day say that other countries are "narrow-minded". It is also true that in the case of the port of Chabahar in Iran, India's mind is indeed not simple. The Chabahar port is very close to Pakistan's Gwadar port, which is a strategic infrastructure investment project of the mainland in Pakistan, and is also a key project of the mainland's "One Belt, One Road" initiative and a symbol of friendship between the mainland and Pakistan.
This further explains why India has to help Iran secure this port at the risk of losing its money and offending the United States, because India is often only superficial and only concerned with symbolism. He doesn't care if Chabahar can compete with Gwadar, or Iran's idea of using India, he only cares about letting the people at home see that the Indian government is fighting against China.
In fact, Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has recently made a lot of remarks denying the historical merits of India's founding Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and the rhetoric is full of nationalist thinking. In any country, denying the merits of historical figures and hyping up nationalist sentiments is not a good thing, although it can alleviate internal contradictions in the short term, but in the long run, it is not only short-sighted, but also sowing the seeds of division. It can be shown that the Modi government is already in a state of spiral out of control when it comes to nationalism.
However, this is India, a magical country, and after this incident, the "honeymoon period" between the United States and India may be over, after all, even the United States has to look at Israel's face, and India and Iran are eyebrows, and I am afraid that good times are coming to an end. Let's just wait and see the show.
