More evidence that India is now firmly aligned with the US, a huge turnaround from their defacto alliance with the old Soveit Union. Having India as a strong ally bolsters the US diplomatic position in Asia. Looks like thge world community is aligning on the Iran issue as they all realize the threat posed by them. The Shiites of Iran want to become the defacto spokespeople for all Muslims and overshadow the Suunis who have traidtionally run the Caliphate. This is a 1000 year old tussle for supremacy within the Islamic world that is playing out.
I'm not sure how firmly aligned we are with India yet, but significant progress has been made in relations between the two countries.
This is another step.
