India signs a 10-year contract with Iran to operate the Iranian port of Chabahar.India’s Shipping Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, praised the deal as an “India-Iran flagship project.”newly signed deal to operate the Iranian port of Chabahar is expected to provide it with a gateway to landlocked Afghanistan and Central Asia, potentially competing with Pakistan’s Gwadar.
India’s Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal welcomed the deal, stating that the development of Chabahar was an “India-Iran flagship project” and emphasizing that the port would serve as a “gateway for trade with Afghanistan and broader Central Asian countries.” “The signing of the deal signifies the strength of bilateral ties between India and Iran,” said D.P. Srivastava, who was India’s ambassador to Iran when talks on the project started.India’s involvement in Chabahar in 2016 followed the US easing sanctions on Iran. However, Donald Trump’s administration reimposed the sanctions in 2018.
Prof. Sujata Ashwarya from the Centre for West Asian Studies at Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi stated that it was not likely that sanctions would affect India because its presence was helping deter China — the main rival of the US — from becoming involved in the Iranian port.
