Thunderhawk: REPOST: Golden Thread: What is the Reason for Russia, China, Iran Partnership
The common "golden thread" connecting China, Iran and Russia is their principled insistence that borders, national sovereignty and independence are inviolable principles, F. William Engdahl notes, adding their commitment to these fundamental values of the UN Charter may save the world from self-destruction.
Washington is obviously not happy about the emerging triple alliance of Iran, China and Russia; the US' cunning policy-makers have repeatedly tried to drive a wedge between the powers, but these attempts have failed.
"If the intent of the Obama Iran strategy was to woo the great Persian nation to the West in a complex geopolitical game, and turn her against Russia, China and the emerging Eurasian Century being constructed around China's One Belt, One Road project, it is emerging as another colossal failure," American author, researcher and risk strategic consultant F. William Engdahl writes in his article for New Eastern Outlook.
Regardless of Washington's intrigues, the "newly-sanction-free" Iran has rushed to establish close ties with its Eurasian neighbors.
"One week after Chinese President Xi Jinping's historic visit to post-sanctions Iran, where the two countries signed major trade agreements including bringing Iran fully into the emerging strategic New Economic Silk Road and Maritime Road blueprint, China launched a new maritime shipping route to Iran. Two days before that, the first freight train departed China for the Islamic Republic," the researcher continues.
Beijing and Tehran envisage the construction of the new high-speed rail infrastructure that will break Iran's economic isolation, paving the way for the upcoming Eurasian economic boom, Engdahl underscores.
In addition, Iran is likely to be invited to full membership status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) later this year.
Remarkably, the six full members of the SCO occupy territory that accounts for 60 percent of the Eurasian continent and a quarter of the world's population.
"During [Sino-Iranian] talks in Tehran on January 26… Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters, told Xi Jinping that Iran will continue its policy of bolstering ties with the 'East,' lauding China's 'independent' stance in global issues," the researcher points out.
Furthermore, Ayatollah Khamenei added that the Western political establishment has failed to win hearts and minds of the Iranian people.
"Westerners have never obtained the trust of the Iranian nation. The government and nation of Iran have always sought expanding relations with independent and trustful countries like China," Iran's Supreme leader stressed, as quoted by the researcher.
The nations have kicked off a series of bold infrastructural projects engaging Pakistan and Iraq in their fold.
"These Iranian, Chinese, Iraqi and Pakistani infrastructure developments have enormous geopolitical implications for the future of the Eurasian landmass, a space enclosing almost three billion people, almost half the world's population, with vast natural resources, educated work forces and world class scientists from Russia to China to Iran and beyond," the strategic risk consultant highlights.
Indeed, Russia plays an important role in the "golden triangle" of major emerging Eurasian powers. Therefore Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed in one of his statements, largely neglected by the Western media sources, that Tehran would never forget those who stood by it during the harsh period of sanctions, referring in particular to Russia and China.
Moreover, Tehran and Moscow have reached an agreement regarding the supplies of new generation S-300 missile systems. The Iranian leadership is expecting the completion of deliveries of the improved Russian missile defense system in the first half of 2016.
The partnership of Iran, China and Russia is based on mutual trust and respect.
"The common golden thread binding the three great Eurasian cultures and nations — China, Iran, Russia — is their principled insistence that, as with individual human beings, so with nations, borders and national sovereignty are inviolable principles… Their growing cooperation based on respect for national sovereignty may just save the world from self-destruction. That would be to the good," Engdahl concludes.

ThunderHawk » Singapore signs landmark investment treaty with Iran
A new milestone in Singapore relations with Iran. The two countries have signed a Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) following the reintegration of Iran into the global economy after years of international economic sanctions.
Singapore's Minister of Trade and Industry S Iswaran inked the agreement with Iran's Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance during a two-day visit to Tehran, according to Channel News Asia.
The delegation led by the Singapore Business Federation into Iran has been touted as the largest trade delegation from Singapore to the Middle East. The 51-strong trade mission is accompanied by Singapore's Trade and Industry Minister S Iswaran.
During his two-day visit to Tehran, Mr Iswaran inked the BIT with Iran’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Ali Tayyebnia.
Among its features, the agreement will grant investors common investment treaty protections. These include the right to fair and equitable treatment, most-favored-nation treatment, national treatment, protection against expropriation, and a guarantee of free transfer of capital.
'This visit is an important step in the journey of deepening our economic collaboration and business ties between our two countries, between the two governments,' said Mr Iswaran.
'We’ve signed the bilateral investment treaty which is a signal of the whole government’s commitment to promoting stronger economic ties and also a signal to the business community that their investments will be afforded appropriate protection,' he added.
The recent lifting of the international trade sanctions against Iran has opened up fresh trade and investment opportunities with the region’s second largest economy, which boasts an estimated gross domestic product of US$406.3 billion.
Iran will now have access to about US $100 billion in frozen funds. It will also allow the country to increase its oil revenue exponentially to the tune of between US$3 billion and US $4 billion dollars a month by the end of the year even at the current low crude oil prices.
The injection of funds will unleash a strong demand internally and offer numerous business opportunities for countries that trade and do business with the Islamic Republic.
Before sanctions were imposed, Singapore’s bilateral trade with Iran amounted to US$6.6 billion dollars in 2011. Trade however fell to US$2.6 billion dollars in 2012, before hitting a record low of about $171 million dollars last year.
The new treaty is expected to help change all that.
During his visit to Tehran, Mr Iswaran also met with Iran’s Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade, Mohammad-Reza Nematzadeh before returning to Singapore on Tuesday.
