Event Summary

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged India to continue its strategic investments in Iran — Chabahar Port despite United States sanctions, calling the port a 'golden gate' for trade between India, Bank Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Europe. He acknowledged that United States sanctions have slowed down the pace of investment, even after India entered a 10-year agreement in 2024 to operate the Shahid Beheshti Terminal. Araghchi also called upon India to play a greater diplomatic role in stabilizing the West Asian region, which he described as being caught in the crossfire of United States-Iran tensions, blaming the Trump administration for being the 'primary hurdle' to regional harmony.
