Yes, Iran may or may not remain on the world map, and it may or may not end up becoming an American ally like Pakistan — but that is not India’s concern. No matter how chaotic the world becomes, India must stand firm and strong in defense of its own national interests, the interests of Hindus worldwide, and the preservation of the great Hindu civilization. India must remain committed to truth and justice, as its national motto — drawn from the Rig Veda — declares: “Satyameva Jayate” — Truth alone triumphs.
An American puppet Iran actually helps India to a degree: It totally bridges the gap in deep alliance with israel AND it makes Pakistan less valuable. Whatever American and Paki people say, reality is, america wants to control Pakistan for TWO main reasons, not one:
1. Power check vs India
2. Access to central Asia via Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
Iran lops off reason #2 : Iran grants far easier access to central asia than Pakistan via afg+tjk.
At one point importance of #1 will decline because ultimately usa will want India on its corner for great showdown with the Chinese: IF the Chinese can weather the storm and hang in for another 20 years.
All great powers and the hegemon knows this, hence why usa is getting active in trimming the BRICS periphery and hoping China collapses from internal financial pressures.( they will be wrong about this).
But taking away #2 definitely widens window for us to get back PoK: If usa controls Iran, it is in their interests now to get Pakistan cut off from China and reduce Chinese footprint in Arabian sea. Easiest way to do that, is to let India shit kick Pakistan to get back Gilgit- baltitstan and if we are feeling adventurous, take chitral too and have direct access ourselves to taj+afg.
There are lots of moving parts to this and lots of uncertainty because collapsing ayatollah Raj is still a low probability scenario coz even if they take out the ayatollah, their entire upper middle class and upper class are irgc + Iranian mil so they may very well hunker down and wait for the storm to pass before making another ayatollah.
Ps: gilgit is the key. Gilgit actually grants easy access to chitral via shandur pass, which though deep in karakoram-hindukush, is an easier pass than the artificial connection to chitral via Dir. Gilgit is also shia mostly with lots of carvings of chandragupta in Gupta script.
As soon as Iran mullahcracy dies, these guys will start to get genocided by the pashtun sunnis to their south. This is a virtual guarantee and matter of when, not if. That is india's window to seize gilgit-baltitastan and maybe even chitral.
That window becomes a lot lower in risk threshold, if usa controls Iran and now wants China cut off from pakis. Suddenly you will see murricans argue the law over PoK. But for that day to come, Iran has to play ball with uncle Sam or be its bitch.
That, is one angle.
