US ignoring its own sanctions waiver extended to India on Chabahar Port

The US warns of potential sanctions on dealings with Iran after India signs a 10-year contract on Chabahar Port. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stresses the project's regional benefits, citing past US acknowledgment. India Ports Global Ltd has operated in Chabahar since 2018 under a sanctions waiver. Despite US warnings, India aims to avoid involving sanctioned entities, maintaining legality. US exemption in 2018 recognized India's strategic role in developing Chabahar for Afghanistan's reconstruction.
