ISLAMABAD: Russia and Iran are reportedly realigning their strategic interests in South Asia by strengthening ties with Pakistan.

According to a Pakistani media outlet, this shift comes as India increasingly aligns itself with the United States and Western powers.

Concerned sources suggest that New Delhi’s growing closeness to the West has made Pakistan a more attractive partner for Moscow and Tehran.

Pakistan’s strategic geographical location plays a crucial role in this evolving alliance.

Iran has long viewed Pakistan as a vital corridor for access to China and beyond.

Russia considers Pakistan a counterbalance to US influence in the region.

India’s recent defense and economic agreements with Western nations have accelerated this pivot.

The changing dynamics are notable as Russia and Iran seek dependable regional partners.

Pakistan’s efforts towards regional peace and stability enhance its appeal.
