As Iran Burns, India Flags Risk To 9,000 Indians, MEA Sets Record Straight On Chabahar Port Exit To isolate Iran, the US state department had in Sept revoked the sanctions exception issued in 2018 for the port that India has developed for its access to Afghanistan and central Asia, bypassing Pakistan. The revocation was meant to come into effect on Sept 29 but was extended later by the US. However, the US announcement earlier this week that it would impose 25% tariff on countries doing business with Iran has further complicated India’s involvement with Chabahar project. India has committed to provide a Line of Credit of $250 million in rupee equivalent for the port’s development.
