It would be a miracle if the cheetahs in iran would return naturally to india. Which is probably the least intrusive option. 

LOL. They are less than 40-50, it would not be a miracle if they naturally return to India? it would be miracle if they survive for the next 2 yrs. Hence, Asiatic cheetah will be lost forever in the wild in a couple of years. at least we should save about 6k to 7k african cheetah left in the world as many ways as possible.

Other than that, there are no corridors or natural passage patches with minimum prey that support them and all it is left in 21st century is human settlements, and among all mass migration of predators for 1000's of kilometers like prey as Blue  Wildebeest in Africa's masia mara, is not gonna happen. It is all the way desert to India (Hindustan).

You know what? then, why should they come to India, they might have been places in Afghan and Pak along the path to India and can settle there too which are one of the best suitable sites for Asiatic Cheetah in the world within Historic range.

Other thing is, the nearest and best possible site for Asiatic/Iranian cheetah in India alongside Kuno evaluated by expert Panel is "Shahgarh landscape" continuous with "Desert NP" in Rajasthan along the international border of Pakistan.
