Soon after the Chahbahar port deal in 2016, Modi began working tirelessly to ditch Iran by forging strong alliances with Iran's staunchest enemies - USA, Israel and more.
Around the time the US-provoked false-flag crisis in the Persian Gulf began stirring up and subsequently Iran's downing of a US drone entering illegally inside Iranian territory, India has sent several of its naval and air force assets in the region, NOT to reassure the security of Indian-flagged merchant vessels passing through the region, but a gesture of reassurance to the US of Indian presence and assistance in gulf waters, if needed.
Earlier in 2018 India played up what's commonly referred to as a "Bollywood-type" drama that it would continue buying Iranian oil in defiance of US sanctions. A few months later New Delhi stopped importing Iranian oil, replacing it with imports from Saudi Arabia and UAE (also foes of Iran). This wasn't about India capitulating to US pressure to dump Iranian oil. Rather, it wasn't difficult for the US to persuade India to do so in favor of US allies in the gulf ... an uncomplicated story of joining forces to harass Iran with greater pressure. Thus, US and Saudi oil exports to India have jumped considerably because of US sanctions on Iran.
Modi's devilish shenanigans keep getting uglier ......
Simultaneously he has been passionately strengthening his country's military alliance with Israel. While millions of poverty-stricken slum dwellers in India survive on eating rats and toads, their prime minister lately purchased from Israel over $120 million worth of medium range surface-to-surface missiles as well as anti-tank spike missiles.
Last month India added a new dimension to its relations with Israel, making it still cozier, collaborating with the Zionist state in the UN. India voted in the United Nations opposing consultative status to a Palestinian NGO .. followed by plenty of thanks from Israeli officials.
Observing yet another facet within India's double-dealing and trouble making spree: Baloch separatist groups are active on both sides of Iran-Pakistan border seeking independence from both countries. Balochistan province of Pakistan is host to the large CPEC project in coordination with China. Baloch separatist leaders view CPEC as a move by the central government to colonize the province, and thus the rise in violent incidents on both sides of the border. That's a tailor-made gift for Modi, an excellent opportunity to exacerbate the problem via covert alliances with Baloch separatists.
When Modi signed the Chahbahar port deal in 2016, Iran never guessed what card this gecko had up his sleeve. Not long after, Modi began hiring the feudal Baloch terrorists for sabotaging CPEC - a job previously handled directly by the Indian intelligensia, RAW - which facilitated the December 2018 suicide car bombing in Chahbahar, killing 4 Iranian policemen and injuring 45 civilians.
There should not be any ambiguities no longer about where India stands with all its stinking tricks much too easy to discern. You don't need to be a genius to catch that such moves are blatantly anti-Iran, without a doubt, and a loud wake-up call for Iran to stop buddying (let alone trusting) an evil opportunist with such massive cunning and guile.
