India abstained from voting in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on a resolution condemning Iran. That too when these proposals were brought by countries like America, the UK, France, and Germany, considered India's strongest friends. Many diplomatic meanings are being extracted from this step in India. Due to this, there is speculation about the strengthening of Indo-Iran relations.
What happened in the IAEA?
A draft censure motion against Iran was brought by the US, UK, France, and Germany on Saturday. The US said Iran has not provided a "technically credible explanation" of uranium particles at three undisclosed sites. However, Iran rejected this report.
Iranian officials say that no secret and unregistered nuclear activities have been carried out. It also pointed out that more than 40 surveillance cameras will remain operational in Iran for transparency. 30 countries voted in favor of the resolution, while Russia and China voted against the resolution. India, Pakistan, and Libya abstained from voting.
What is going on between India and Iran?
In 2014, when the Modi government was formed at the center, India's relations with Israel became very strong. After this, the distance from Iran started increasing. When Iran made a statement on Kashmir, these distances increased further. Due to US sanctions, India also stopped buying oil from Iran. Business relations became very weak. Later both countries tried to improve it.
When the foreign minister went to Iran twice a month
In 2021, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar reached Iran twice within a month. He was earlier invited by President Ibrahim Raisi to attend his swearing-in ceremony. After Jaishankar's visits, there was an initiative to improve relations between the two countries.
Then the foreign minister of Iran came to India
Recently, Iran's Foreign Minister Hussain Amir Abdullah came to India on a three-day visit. During this, he met Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval. An agreement was reached between the two countries to enhance trade and cultural ties.
Why did India help Iran?
Foreign affairs expert Prof. Assad says that this is a way of helping Iran.
1. Will it get cheap oil?: There was a time when Iran was the third-largest oil supplier to India. India stopped taking oil after 2019. The US sanctions were cited as the reason behind this. Iran wants India to start importing oil again.
For this, along with providing cheaper oil, Iran has offered to trade in local currency instead of the dollar. In such a situation, it is possible that in the coming time between India and Iran, there will be a big deal regarding oil. If this happens then the oil prices in India can be very low.
There will be two big reasons for this. The first is that Iran will give oil to India cheaply and secondly, due to being nearby, the cost of transportation will also be less. At the same time, Iran can take food grains and food items on a large scale from India. By doing so, both the countries will benefit. Experts say that this move of India can affect America's relations. Because India is already buying oil from Russia despite all the sanctions. Now if Iran also starts importing oil, then it can have an impact on the relationship between the two.
2. Option to mediate with Israel: Iran is seeing further advantage in good relations with India. The whole world knows India's friendship with Israel. In such a situation, if the dispute between Israel and Iran increases in the coming time, then India can play the role of mediator in it.
History of relations between India and Iran
Relations between India and Iran have a long history. Before 1947, both the countries were neighbors of each other. Its effect is visible in the language, dialect, and culture of both countries.
Foreign Affairs expert Prof. Assad says, 'The liberal aspect of Islam also came to India from Iran. Trade, diplomatic and cultural ties between India and Iran have also been very strong. For a long time, the official language of India was Persian. Even at this time, words like arrest, daroga, and sign are commonly used in legal documents.
Iran tests trade corridor for India
A recent example of India's friendship with Iran was also seen on Monday. According to an Iranian port official, the state-run shipping company has started shipping the first consignment of Russian-made goods to India using a new trade corridor crossing the Islamic republic. According to a Bloomberg report, the new trade corridor has been tested so that the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia does not have any adverse effect on trade. The Russian cargo consists of two 40-foot (12.192 m) containers made of wooden laminate sheets, each weighing 41 tonnes. These cargoes left for the Caspian Sea port (City of Astrakhan) from St. Petersburg.
