New Delhi. You and I have seen the business tycoon avatar of Elon Musk. Musk, who brought revolution in the field of Electric Vehicles i.e. EV, is now doing great work in the private space industry as well. Musk, who is going to debut in leadership with Donald Trump 2.0, is now seen doing another revolutionary work. According to the New York Times report, Musk is trying to end the tension between Iran and America. In this context, on Thursday he met Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations. Only time will tell how successful Musk will be in his debut as a politician, but if relations between Iran and America improve, India will definitely benefit from it.
Quoting Iranian sources, the newspaper claimed that the meeting between Elon Musk and the Iranian ambassador lasted for an hour at a secret place on Monday. Elon Musk stood shoulder to shoulder with Donald Trump during the US Presidential elections. It is claimed that Musk was also present during Trump’s talks with world leaders. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy of Indian origin have been jointly given command of the Department of Efficiency by Donald Trump during his second term. Under this, their job is to reduce government expenditure by eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy.
Murder of Qasim Sulemani…
Trump had broken the agreement made on Iran’s nuclear program during his previous tenure. These agreements were made during the government of Barack Obama. After which the distance between Iran and America had increased a lot. During Trump’s first term, Iran’s Army Chief Qasim Sulemani was killed by the US Army in Baghdad. After which a war-like situation had arisen between the two countries.
What is the benefit to India?
On the other hand, if seen from India’s point of view, improvements in America-Iran relations will be very beneficial for us. India has also had to bear the brunt of American sanctions on Iran on several occasions in the last few years. India has great interests in Iran. The Indian government is constructing Chabahar Port in Iran. Pakistan does not provide India direct access to Central Asia. In such a situation, India trades with Central Asian countries through Iran. On the other hand, due to America’s sanctions, India often faces a lot of difficulties in purchasing crude oil from Iran.
