Iran's Political Shift: India to Gain, China to Lose? Trump's Role Examined

• US President Donald Trump has encouraged Iranian protestors, promising support and accountability for those suppressing dissent.
• Foreign policy expert Robinder Sachdev believes a new Iranian government, potentially backed by Trump, would significantly benefit India through increased trade and lifted sanctions, boosting its economy.
• Currently, China's trade with Iran is 20 times larger than India's, with a $400 billion deal for oil and investment, making China Iran's largest oil buyer.
• India's strategic Chabahar Port lease for 10 years aims to bypass Pakistan for trade with Afghanistan and Central Asia; a new Iranian government could accelerate its development.
• Experts predict a global oil oversupply by 2026, potentially dropping prices to $50 per barrel if Iran and Venezuela produce at full capacity, saving India billions in import costs and lowering domestic fuel prices.

Why It Matters: A change in Iran's government could shift geopolitical dynamics, benefiting India economically and strategically while challenging China's dominance.
