Historically India had remained neutral in such issues. If this was an era during Nehru, he would have voted for Iran and in the end Iran would have attacked India with nuclear weapons. This happened in the case of China where invitation to become a permenant member of the UNSC was turned down by Nehru to be in good terms with PR of China. PROC attacked India and even supported Pakistand in 1971. India must take its own stand and tie up with the US. This would enable cooperation in nuclear energy and space exploration.
