Chabahar Port: Port of contention

The Hindu  

U.S. President Donald Trump has taken aim at many countries around the world in the first few weeks of his presidency — with Iran being perhaps the most predictable target, much as it was during his first tenure. So, while it came as no surprise when he issued a Presidential National Security Memorandum on February 4, calling for “maximum pressure” on Iran, as what he called the “world’s leading state sponsor of terror”, his decision to name the Chabahar Port in particular sent shock-waves through New Delhi. Chabahar’s Shahid Beheshti port terminal is after all India’s first international port, its alternative trade route to Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and beyond, and part of its plans for regional leadership. Between 2010 and 2015, the U.S. encouraged India to increase energy contracts with Iran, to build up the Shahid Beheshti terminal at Chabahar and even to invest in a rail line connecting Chabahar to the Afghan border — as it wanted to use this as leverage in its high-stakes negotiations for the 6-nation Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Mr. Trump’s latest memo brings the risk back into focus., as it orders U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to “modify or rescind sanctions waivers, particularly those that provide Iran any degree of economic or financial relief, including those related to Iran’s Chabahar port project.” Given that the order came just days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s U.S. visit, South Block officials hope they can once again negotiate for an exception for India’s plans for Chabahar port.
