In my opinion, between Iran and USA, we shd go with USA. We have seen in the past that we cannot expect any help from an Islamic State, that too a Fundamental one like Iran. We have learnt lesson from B'desh( we gave them freedom on a platter and now they are playing to the tunes of Pakis). We have seen the role of UAE, during the hijacking of IA air craft to Khandahar via Dubai. We have seen the OIC always siding with Pakistan. It is also well known that Iran is clandestinely developing N-bomb with help of Pakistan,( although claiming to develop alternative energy, while sitting on World's third largest oil/Gas reserves) to use the same at the whims and fancy of their irresponsible Govt. Even if we maintain good relation with Iran, there is no guarantee that the unpredictable regime in Iran would respond positively.
Where as India has a lot of interest with USA, in the fields of Engineering research/development, IT sector, collaboration for latest Nuclear Energy Plants, bi-lateral trade, etc. Our IT/BPO sectors are very much dependent on USA. Thus good relation with USA will pay rich dividends.

Don't forget, going with US has a price to pay, and nothing is free in this world. There are three factors as i can see now to this deal. 1) taking over the retail market but big multinational companies such as walmart and destroying the small family owned buisness and then everyone working as a slave to these companies at minimum wage with no benefits; Companies like Mcdonalds, already wooing our younger generations by different tectics and taking over the food industry; taking over of clothing industry by the multinationals big cooprporations and things would be so expensive for locals to afford 2) Taking over the real estate as we can see it already happening farmers being forced to sell their land cheap to make the whole agricultural india into a dead cement and like in america general population living in cardboard cubby holes and working in (artifical air compartments with no natural light or air), replacing everything natural with what companies can sell, a form of corporate fasicsm 3) since China is becoming a world power so someone has to be pitted against china, since india is another new power in the subcontinent, why not pit india against china
I am not sure why the govt can't see all these pitfalls, i guess they are sold out because rather than making us selfsufficient as was gandhi's dream, the present govt is the traiter and its selling the whole country out
