Disputes between India and China over their border in the Himalayas have intensified in recent months, after a deadly clash between their troops in June.
That adds to broader competition between India and China on land and at sea around Asia, but recent military agreements with the US allow India to watch rival Chinese forces more closely.
As tension between India and China has increased in recent months, the US military has helped India keep an eye on Chinese forces, senior US military commanders said in November.
A deadly brawl on India and China s disputed border in the Himalayas in June was their first such clash in decades. Since then both have reinforced their positions, and India has had help monitoring Chinese forces.
The paper, however, touched at a deep store of animosity and mistrust between Tehran and Washington, reminding that negotiations between the United States and Iran have never been smooth.
Last week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said his government was willing to return to the Obama-era nuclear limits if the US lifted sanctions. If the new Biden administration returns to the situation as it was in 2017, then so will we,” he said. But that’s where the rub will come. Negotiating a step-by-step agreement about which nuclear limits will be reimposed first, which sanctions will be released when, and how Iran’s compliance will be verified will take some delicate diplomacy,” the LA Times said.

Joe Biden is going to have a lot of complicated issues competing for his attention when he takes office next month. Among the thorniest is Iran.
During his presidential campaign, Biden promised to revive President Barack Obama s 2015 nuclear deal with the Tehran regime. That s the one President Donald Trump denounced as toothless and abandoned in 2018.
Since then, Trump has imposed ever more punishing economic sanctions on Iran, but they haven t caused Iran to bend to his will. Instead, the Tehran regime has retaliated by breaking the nuclear limits; Iran now holds 12 times as much low-enriched uranium as the agreement would have allowed.
