India-Iran Chabahar Port Deal Faces US Sanctions Threat

India aims to enhance trade with Central Asia despite potential US sanctions over its strategic partnership with Iran.

India and Iran signed a 10-year agreement to develop the Chabahar Port, enhancing trade routes to Central Asia.
The US has warned of possible sanctions against entities doing business with Iran, including this port project.
India seeks to bypass Pakistan's Gwadar Port, a key part of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Analysts believe the US might not enforce sanctions strictly due to the upcoming elections in both countries.
The Chabahar Port is vital for India's regional strategy and countering China's influence.
