US Reinstates Sanctions Waiver for India's Chabahar Port Operations

The United States has granted India a fresh six-month waiver from sanctions to continue operations at Iran's strategic Chabahar Port. The decision reverses a recent revocation and marks a diplomatic success for New Delhi, which emphasized the port's importance for humanitarian aid and trade. The waiver allows India to manage the Shahid Beheshti terminal, a crucial trade link to Afghanistan and Central Asia that bypasses Pakistan, thereby ensuring the continuation of regional connectivity projects.
