| Popis: | Historically, Afghanistan has remained an active and one of the determining factors in shaping regional power structure. The U.S. withdrawal from the country is regarded as a turning point in the ongoing regional realignment process. Once the allies in the United States’ “War on Terror” campaign like Russia, Iran, Qatar, and Central Asian Republics have changed their side and are working very actively with the Taliban regime. These countries even consider the regime as the only option that has the capacity to address their national security threats arising from the country. Considering the situation and India’s strained relations with the Taliban, Pakistan, and China, will Iran emerge as a crucial ally for India in safeguarding its national interests and maintaining its strategic influence in Afghanistan and the wider region? This paper aims to analyze how a Taliban-led Afghanistan could impact India’s relationship with Iran. The research adds a new dimension to the analysis of India and Iran relations and highlights the significance of Iran for India in changing regional and global power structures. The research method was based on the review of research articles, reports both governmental and non-governmental, and surveys published in newspapers. The qualitative analysis clarifies and deepens the understanding of the issue. |
