Chabahar Port

President Donald Trump ordered a review of U.S. sanctions exemptions for Iran, including those for the Chabahar Port project. The move aims to block all financial channels benefiting Iran, escalating tensions in U.S.-Iran relations.

• Chabahar Port is located in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan Province, on the Makran coast, in the Gulf of Oman.
• The port has two main areas: Shahid Kalantari Port and Shahid Beheshti Port.
• India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of Chabahar Port in May 2015.
• In May 2016, India, Iran, and Afghanistan signed the Chabahar Agreement, establishing the International Transport and Transit Corridor to boost trade and connectivity.
