Huh. What do you make of it?

I am thrilled Iran and India can get along but find myself concerned if we are left out.

India is usually not crazy but there are probably 1.5 billion people and a good amount of resources involved in those talks.

Anything to be concerned about?

Iran is under heave sanction from the US. India happens to be one of the few countries (along with China and Russia) that is willing to do business (oil purchase) with Iran. It is mainly about India's oil needs.

Russia on the other hand is a different story. India and Russia have history of close military co-operation which is vital for India's security.

That is about it.
