Abstract
In the ever-changing dynamics of international affairs, Iran with considerable reserves of gas and oil and with a significant geography has been playing a vital geostrategic and geo economic role. Arguably, its importance in the world politics would gain fillip given in the post-nuclear deal period. Iran has had quite amicable relations with all Central Asia states since the 1990s primarily due to common religion, history, culture and heritage while using territory of Balochistan as gateway. Now the stage is set for the Islamic republic to boost up its economic, political, and cultural and defence relations with the energy rich Central Asian states through Balochistan. In this context, this article is an attempt to evaluate the historical aspect of Iranian relations with the region. An attempt is also made to analyse the existing potentialities of stronger bilateral ties in all fields. Moreover, this piece also provides a bird’s eye view of the convergences and divergences of Iran and the US in the region as the latter is also a significant player in the region
