The Islamic Republic of Iran’s attempt to bolster its power among some Asian countries such as India has involved a variety of political and economical decisions. While it has tried to improve its influence among the Indian Muslim communities, it has found the energy as the best way to grow its relations with the Indian government to make strategic ties. Although Iran has followed these policies for many years, it seems that it does not have its previous influences among the Indian Muslims. In addition, Iran’s oil and gas production besides its energy relations have been limited due to some internal and international factors such as energy sanctions imposed by U.S. The present study attempts to analyze the factors behind Iran’s undermined role in India.
