Russia, Iran, And India Are Creating A Third Pole Of Influence In International Relations

@Beijingwalker

here, we find combined power of Delhi+Moscow+Tehran increased consistently since 1990 and it would go further from here.

since Cold War time its seen that Delhi+Moscow+Tehran are "self-sufficient" with what they are, they dont have to trade with US-NATO :coffee:
Moscow + Delhi + Tehran = Self sufficient
- Delhi
Moscow + Tehran = Self sufficient

Delhi doesn't provide anything useful in this alliance.
 
Moscow + Delhi + Tehran = Self sufficient
- Delhi
Moscow + Tehran = Self sufficient

Delhi doesn't provide anything useful in this alliance.

i have information that Indian engineers help Russia more than what Russia contributes in Indian industries since Cold War time

India, hence, is listed among Newly Industrialised countries .....

Russia to offer visa-free travel for Indian tourists, starting 2025​

Currently, Russia allows travellers from China and Iran to enter without a visa through its visa-free tourist exchange programme. This initiative, which began on 1 August 2023, has been successful, and Russia hopes to replicate it with India, according to PTI. :coffee:

Indian passport holders currently enjoy visa-free access to 62 countries.

Iran announces visa-free policy for Indian tourists for up to 15 days​

Iran has officially implemented a visa-free policy for Indian tourists, which came into effect on February 4. This strategic move is aimed at fostering cultural exchanges and boosting the tourism sector in Iran. :coffee:

Indian nationals with ordinary passports can now enter Iran without a visa, provided they arrive by air. The visa exemption allows for a stay of up to 15 days, which cannot be extended, and is applicable once every six months.

well Iran and Russia are OK but the big money just might come from Israel
 
As far as I know, so far India has invested very little in Chabahar and almost all the projects are being done with Iranian money.

we have little information on internet. :)

US-west seriously manipulate data's online. they force to deliver half/incorrect information also. its history of Western countries, they lie about information :)

for example, trade between India-Iran is far more than advertise numbers. and here, we are fighting a type of war between West Vs all countries for information delivery online :)

about Chabahar, India will do everything for Chabahar Port. its a straight link to Central Asia. the Central Asia is Mig29s countries, are found in firm grip of Delhi-Moscow, with involvement of Beijing too .....

worth informing, we can't walk with Western countries now, the Delhi has given related message to all western countries :)
 

Iran and India: Strengthening Bonds through Cooperation​

INSTC is a multi-modal transportation route linking the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea via Iran and onward to northern Europe via St Petersburg in Russia.


Iran and India share a deep-rooted partnership and the two sides are working together on important projects like the Chabahar port and the International North-South Transport Corridor, which are strengthening the bilateral relationship. :coffee:

The Iranian ambassador to India, Iraj Elahi, emphasized the strong partnership between Iran and India during his address on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New Delhi on Friday.

He said that the Chabahar port is very important because it connects the Indian Ocean to places like Central Asia. And the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) connects the Indian Ocean to Europe through Iran and Russia.

For India, the Chabahar port in Iran is important because it makes trading with countries like Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia much easier. INSTC is a multi-modal transportation route linking the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf to the Caspian Sea via Iran and onward to northern Europe via St Petersburg in Russia.

It has been reported previously by Financial Express Online that the INSTC envisions the movement of goods from Mumbai (India) to Shahid Beheshti Port – Chabahar (Iran) by sea, from Chabahar to Bandar-e- Anzali (an Iranian port on the Caspian Sea) by road, and then from Bandar-e- Anzali to Astrakhan (a Caspian port in the Russian Federation) by ship across the Caspian Sea, and after that from Astrakhan to other regions of the Russian Federation and further into Europe by Russian railways.

He also mentioned the long friendship between Iran and India. He said, “Iran and India have been friends for a long time. People in India still love reading beautiful Persian poems. The Indian government even made Persian an official language in schools, which shows how much they care about our language.” ☕

Ambassador Elahi talked about the recent meeting between Prime Minister Modi of India and President Raisi of Iran, saying it was important for their future friendship.

“Iran and India have important coordination and cooperation at the regional and international levels. The presence of Iran and India in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS shows the cooperation of the two countries at the international level,” the envoy stated.

At the event, Ambassador Elahi also talked about the problem of terrorism. He said that Iran has been fighting terrorism for many years and has been successful in stopping groups like ISIS from taking over the region.

“In the last four decades, Iran’s people and government have stood against many fierce storms such as imposed war, terror, economic sanctions or economic terrorism and maximum pressure, and are moving towards the heights of victory,” the Iranian ambassador said.

The cooperation between these three countries is very good, but it is not clear whether India can cooperate with Iran and Russia despite the sanctions

India is committed with Russia-iran. The countries like India can't be friend of West. Things are too tough with Western countries....,..
We have information that trade between india and West -US is nearly zero. Things are so tough that there is no diplomatic relation between india and West now. We now keep middle men for the purpose 🕳️
 
Its all about Money and demographics/potential markets for the finished goods .... be it victorian times = when UK was the dominent world power

or the times since dawn of 20th centuary till end of 2nd world war when US & USSR emerged as dominent powers
or the cold war which went between power struggle of USA/NATO Vs USSR & ALLIES

or post cold war era where USA was dominet world power in UNI polar world

or what we call now the era of multi polar world ....

all geopolitics revolves around Money and trade and commerce and that power that has means to control them

coming back to NAM it was in time when uber socialist JL Nehru and some others like him felt the need to keep away from both US & USSR cmps during hight of COLD WAR

while in this NEW COLD WAR ERA between USA & NATO Vs CHINA & RUSSIA and the Third Block of India with so called GLOBAL SOUTH or the confideracy of all post colonial but devloping and highly populated but poor nations from South America , Africa &Asia/Oceana


why will USA or China or the Europe would want India to lead or plead the case of all these potential markets in UNSC or WTO or WB/IMF or ICJ ????


its simple class struglle of "have nots" trying to get what they desrve while so called "haves" trying to deviate there progress ;) :P
Article of this thread discuss a 3rd pole while other 2 would be NATO and China. And we find it would grow further 🕳️
 

Russia, Iran, And India Are Creating A Third Pole Of Influence In International Relations :coffee:

The success of this project will help the world make progress in moving past the present bi-multipolar intermediary phase of the global systemic transition and correspondingly create more opportunities for other countries to strengthen their strategic autonomy in the New Cold War. :coffee:

Russian Transportation Minister Valery Savelyev just recognized the vital role that Iran plays for his country’s logistics nowadays through the North-South Transport Corridor (NSTC). According to him, the US-led West’s unprecedented sanctions that were imposed in response to Russia’s ongoing special military operation in Ukraine “have practically broken all the logistics in our country. And we are forced to look for new logistics corridors.” The primary one that his country is prioritizing is the NSTC through Iran, pointing out that three Caspian Sea ports already serve as trade conduits with the Islamic Republic while also acknowledging that there’s still a lot of work to be done on overland connectivity.

It was already predicted shortly after the onset of Russia’s special operation that Iran would become so much more important to Russia. This is because the NSTC functions as a trans-civilizational integration corridor connecting Russia’s historically Christian civilization, Iran’s Islamic one, and India’s Hindu civilization, not to mention the others such as those in Africa and Southeast Asia that can indirectly be linked to Russia via that route. It’s an irreplaceable valve from the US-led West’s economic and financial pressure that’s created such logistical difficulties for Russia in recent months, especially since it connects to India, which has defied Western pressure by continuing to practice its policy of principled neutrality. :coffee:

Without Iran’s leading participation in the NSTC, Russia would be cut off from its indispensable Indian partners whose decisive intervention preemptively averted its potentially disproportionate dependence on China in the future. This outcome in turn helped the world make progress in moving past the present bi-multipolar intermediary phase of the global systemic transition to multipolarity that’s seen International Relations largely shaped by the competition between the American and Chinese superpowers. It’s now becoming increasingly possible to speak of a third pole of influence represented by the grand strategic convergence between Russia, Iran, and India. :coffee:

It’s not officially acknowledged by their diplomats in order to avoid the American and/or Chinese superpowers misunderstanding their civilization-states’ intentions, but all three are informally trying to assemble a new Non-Aligned Movement (“Neo-NAM”). They hope to serve as equal centers of gravity within the third pole of influence that they hope to create for moving International Relations past its present bi-multipolar intermediary phase and towards a system of “tripolarity” that they expect to inevitably facilitate the emergence of complex multipolarity. The purpose behind doing so is to maximize their respective strategic autonomy within the New Cold War vis a vis the two superpowers. :coffee:

The international implications of their plan succeeding would literally be game-changing, which explains why efforts are actively underway to stop them. These have taken the form of the Associated Press leading the US-led Western Mainstream Media’s (MSM) infowar campaign against the Russian-Iranian Strategic Partnership while other outlets are waging a complementary one against the Russian-Indian Strategic Partnership. Both have failed since their leaderships are inspired by their shared multipolar conservative-sovereigntist (MCS) worldview to stay the course despite considerable pressure after their strategists presumably assured them that it’ll all be worth it in the end as long as they remain patient.

This stands in contrast to their Pakistani neighbor, which compellingly appears to be in the process of recalibrating its grand strategy and associated envisioned role in the global systemic transition following its scandalous change in government. The mixed signals that its new authorities have sent towards Russia in parallel with their enthusiastic outreach towards the US very strongly suggest that the MCS worldview previously embraced by former Prime Minister Khan is being gradually replaced to an uncertain extent by the Western-friendly unipolar liberal-globalist (ULG) one. This complicates multipolar processes in South Asia and risks isolating Pakistan from them in the worst-case scenario.

Nevertheless, Pakistan doesn’t have any intention of interfering with the NSTC even if it were to enter into a full-fledged and extremely rapid rapprochement with the US. This observation means that the grand strategic convergence between Russia, Iran, and India will continue, with those last two becoming even more important to Moscow than ever as valves from Western pressure and reliable alternatives to preemptively avert any potentially disproportionate dependence on China. Pakistan was supposed to play a complementary role in Russia’s Greater Eurasian Partnership (GEP) by also serving to balance Moscow’s growing reliance on Tehran and New Delhi, but this appears unlikely in light of recent events. :coffee:

With relations practically frozen on the energy front that was envisioned as laying the basis of their hoped-for strategic partnership, there’s little chance that Russia will ever consider Pakistan to be more important to its “Ummah Pivot” than Iran is quickly becoming unless these issues are urgently resolved. In all likelihood, they probably won’t be, and this dismal prediction is due to the educated conjecture that Pakistan’s new authorities consider slowing the pace of their rapprochement with Russia to be an “acceptable unilateral concession” in exchange for continuing talks on improving ties with the US, which is their new foreign policy priority.

Even though baby steps were recently seen in restoring their relations, new Foreign Minister Bhutto’s interview with the Associated Press during his inaugural trip to America to attend a UN event and meet one-on-one with Blinken cast doubt upon Islamabad’s interest in resuming energy talks with Russia. According to the outlet, he revealed that “his focus in talks with Blinken was on increasing trade, particularly in agriculture, information technology and energy.” This suggests that America is trying to “poach” Russia’s reported deal with Pakistan for providing it with food and fuel at a 30% discount, perhaps even offering less of a discount – if any at all – as a “necessary cost” for improving ties.

The predictable outcome of Pakistan deciding not to resume energy talks with Russia is that Iran and India’s importance for Russian grand strategy will continue growing without being kept in check by the Pakistani balancing factor that Moscow had previously taken for granted. That won’t be a problem unless they politicize their role as valves from Western pressure, which they’re reluctant to do anyhow since that would risk undermining their shared MCS interests in the global systemic transition through the Neo-NAM. Nevertheless, it’s still important to point out that the practical removal of Pakistan’s balancing influence in this paradigm increases Russia’s dependence on Iran and India.

With or without Russian-Pakistani relations becoming strategic like Moscow hoped would happen and consequently helping to balance its envisioned Neo-NAM, there’s little doubt that the axis that Russia is assembling with Iran and India will continue strengthening as these three jointly pursue the creation of a third pole of influence in International Relations. The success of this project will help the world make progress in moving past the present bi-multipolar intermediary phase of the global systemic transition and correspondingly create more opportunities for other countries to strengthen their strategic autonomy in the New Cold War. :coffee:

👍
.......

lol.......Achha? India is with Iran now?

How dis possible bro? :p

Are you sure?
We are "traditional" friends, it's the history of Delhi - Moscow - Tehran combined, since much before cold war.
It's something in power politics, once we fall in, slowly slowly we take side with our Cold War allies 🕳️

@Beijingwalker

As stated in above news, I find Delhi -moscow-tehran combined is more than a match to NATO as whole.
The weak NATO's economy, highly indebted, they are in no match to these Cold War opponents 🕳️
