Threatening the viability of the North-South Transport Corridor pressures Iran, India, and Russia in one fell swoop in a diplomatic-economic masterstroke.
Trump did it because the US empire is fueled by white supremacist ideology. India has been a vassal of the US for many years and now it's going to bite them in the ass now. Nothing the empire does is logical. Haven't you figured that out yet?
I doubt Trump had any such idea. Rather, the neocons surrounding him came up with this, and they are obsessed with doing whatever possible to harm Iran in preparation for the war that they seek to wage on that country.
Maybe, just maybe engaging in too many hostilities at the same time is not effective. Obama&Biden approach was always to engage Iran and to be hostile to Russia. Obviously, switching (Novorussia in exchange for Iran) would be effective, but Trump has too many Russiaphobes in Senate to appease.

Or India, Russia, Iran can completely de-dollarize the trade through that corridor, making it impervious to US sanctions...
