India’s Iran Gambit Pays Off: US Grants India Sanctions Waiver on Chabahar Port For Six More Months

India’s Iran Gambit Pays Off: US Grants India Sanctions Waiver on Chabahar Port For Six More Months India has scored a major diplomatic win! The US has extended a six-month waiver on sanctions for Iran’s Chabahar Port, a project central to India’s regional connectivity plans. The move allows India to continue crucial operations and investments that link it to Afghanistan, Central Asia, and beyond. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed the development, calling it a “strategic success.” The port not only gives India a gateway to the Eurasian trade route but also serves as a counterbalance to China’s presence at Pakistan’s Gwadar Port. This six-month relief cements India’s role as a key player in regional geopolitics, as Delhi carefully navigates ties with Washington, Tehran, and Moscow
