چکیده:
Iran and India have had complex relations over the past decade. On one hand, despite decades of Third Worldist politics, India has cooperated with the United States in several different fields against Iran, but on the other hand, it has never been a full-fledged partner for the United States against Iran. Why has India not acted in a way that meets Iran's expectations in various fields? What are the opportunities for expanding Iran-India relations and what factors have played a limiting role in the relations between these two countries? The hypothesis presented by this research is that Iran and India have found opportunities for cooperation in political and economic fields, especially in energy and communication corridors, which have affected the interests of the United States, Israel, and the Arabs of the Persian Gulf region; such that these actors have had a limiting effect on the ties between Iran and India in pursuit of their own interests. Of course, the interests of Iran and India have been more influential on the relations between the two countries than external pressures. This research examines the opportunities and constraints of Iran-India relations from the perspective of the theory of balance of interests using an explanatory method. From the perspective of this theory, India is an emerging power with limited revisionist goals, and Iran is a state with unlimited revisionist goals; therefore, the two states have different strategies regarding the international order, making the formation of a strategic alliance between the two countries difficult.

The hypothesis proposed by this research is that Iran and India have found opportunities for cooperation in political and economic fields, especially in energy and communication corridors, which have affected the interests of the United States, Israel, and the Arab nations of the Persian Gulf region; such that these actors, in pursuit of securing their own interests, have had a limiting effect on the ties between Iran and India.
Keywords: Iran, India, balance of interests, United States, Israel, Arabs, opportunities, limitations Introduction Throughout history, Iran and India, as ancient civilizations, have had long-standing ties, but as two modern states, they participated in the meeting of Asian and African countries in New Delhi in March 1947, which was the first joint meeting and showed the first signs of friendly relations between the two sides after India's independence.
The hypothesis that this research proposes is as follows: Iran and India have found opportunities for cooperation in political, economic, and especially energy and connectivity corridors fields, which has affected the interests of the United States, Israel, and the Arab states of the Persian Gulf region; such that these actors, in pursuit of securing their own interests, have had a limiting effect on the ties between Iran and India.
Pakistan has also, through cooperation with China in various fields, including the port of Gwadar, which has caused China to enter India's strategic periphery on its western borders, sought to increase regional structural pressures on India and has attempted to prevent India's success through improving relations with Iran, Israel, and the United States, thereby pursuing Pakistan's policy of regional isolation.
