Iran and India have much to gain from a stable Afghanistan. Neither nations would like to see a Taliban comeback or Al-Qaida gain roots. During their tenure Taliban saw Shias as heretics and maintained a very tense relation with Iran, and its relation with India was guided by Pakistan. A resolution to the nuclear standoff would help India resume its business with Iran and heighten activity in the region. Afghanistan has come a long way since the ousting of the Taliban regime, but there have been rise in Taliban attacks and the Afghan Government is preparing itself to bring Taliban into the negotiation table. Pakistan and China would play their cards and India and Iran must see to that the negotiations do not compromise on the core values of the Afghan constitution and that their investments and interests are safeguarded. It is time for both Iran and India to make full use of their potential in Afghanistan and by working together they can contribute in-bringing stability to the broader region.
