Trump's Iran Sanctions Threaten India's Chabahar Port Investment

President Trump's recent directive to potentially revoke sanctions waivers on Iran's Chabahar port has raised concerns in India. The port, a key strategic asset for India's regional connectivity plans, has seen significant Indian investment. The move, part of Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, could jeopardize India's $120 million investment and hinder its access to Afghanistan and Central Asia. Prime Minister Modi is expected to address this issue during his upcoming visit to Washington next week. The decision highlights the complex geopolitical challenges India faces in balancing its relationships with the US and Iran.
