Is Iran seeking India's help to avoid US President Donald Trump's 'tariff war'? Let's find out.
US President Donald Trump’s ‘Tariff War’ is a global talking point. Trump’s ‘tariffs’ have increased concerns in many countries, especially those with strained relations with the US. Iran is one such country. Tensions have persisted between the US and Iran for years, with the US already imposing numerous sanctions. While there’s a 90-day moratorium currently in place, Iran is unlikely to receive any tariff relief thereafter. This has heightened Iran’s anxieties, prompting it to seek assistance from India.
India and Iran have enjoyed a long-standing, positive relationship. Considering India a close friend, Iran seeks to strengthen ties further to counter Trump’s ‘Tariff War’. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has also issued a statement on this matter.
Khamenei highlighted the importance of robust trade relations with Russia, China, and India. The Iranian Supreme Leader stated that Iran should expand its trade and economic ties with these three nations.
Khamenei’s discussion of strengthening ties with Asian countries notably omitted Pakistan (पाकिस्तान). This clearly indicates Iran’s lack of interest in fostering stronger relations with its neighbour, Pakistan.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi may soon visit India to discuss further strengthening bilateral ties. Araghchi recently referred to India as a friend while discussing a deal with India on the Chabahar Port. Stronger trade relations between India, Russia, and China would not only benefit Iran’s economy but also bolster the economies of these three nations.
