In connection to the potential road projects, this brings many challenges. The project sounds good on paper but most likely won’t work out. Aside from Iran, the situation in Ukraine, Russia’s war, and Georgia’s situation make the road more challenging and most likely won’t be preferred. There are also the cases of sanctions. I don’t see it a valuable project in the long run, but we will see.

I mean yeah. That has always been one of the main issues for any project involving Iran. Which is why I have not and still am not putting any faith in all these transportation projects.

How about imposing sanctions on anyone who is reselling Russia’s oil? Fucking joke.

Why anyone wants to deal with a country that supplies terrorists is beyond me.

The Americans are just bluffing in diplomacy. India has a population of 1.4 billion and is a quasi-superpower. Without India’s help, the United States cannot confront China in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
In the 1990s, China and India faced much more serious threats from the West than they do now. China was affected by the Tiananmen massacre and India was affected by nuclear tests. However, they only received symbolic sanctions, which were lifted within a few years. Because these two countries are too powerful in size and strength.
The so-called principles of the West can only be adhered to by countries of the level of Serbia and North Korea . West cannot completely stop buying oil and natural gas from Russia. As the West’s relative power declines further, the world will become turbulent and dangerous in the future.
But I still believe that the successors of the new world will be students of Western civilization such as India, Japan, and South Korea, not Russia, China, and Turkey.

Posting this as it provides further insight into how Armenia’s Chabahar ambitions might be perceived in Washington.
I posted this a day or two ago but deleted it because I realized I didn’t quite look into the context of where this statement came from, e.g. after reading [this comment](https://old.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1crl8bi/us_warns_of_sanctions_after_indiairan_chabahar/l3yywr3/). It’s one of the daily White House press briefing Q&As, so we should be able to watch it ourselves, cause that’s what the headline is based off of.
