Economic Projects with Political Motives
A – The economic actions (or activities) that have taken place amongst the countries of the region, between India, Iran and Afghanistan, and between Pakistan and China are not purely economic but rather have political goals, and particularly as all of these states with the exception of China follow American policy.
B – America has provided India with a role to confront China. So just as it acted to strengthen its nuclear capabilities it also works to strengthen it economically, so that it is enabled and capable of playing this role, whilst it links it to Iran and opens up the room for investment there. It also works to strengthen the Iranian economy so that it does not collapse and remains playing or undertaking the role that has been provided to it by the region. America had already provided a role to India in Afghanistan to protect the American interests within it just as Iran supports the American interests in Afghanistan. For that reason, India and Iran moved to support the economy of Afghanistan, that is occupied by America, and opened the path before it to reach the port upon the sea.
