India gets 6-month exemption from US sanctions for Chabahar Port in Iran

The Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday (October 30, 2025) said India has received a waiver for U.S. sanctions on Iran’s Chabahar port for a period of six months.

While addressing a weekly media briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal also said that India’s talks with the U.S. for a trade deal are continuing.

In September, the Trump administration revoked its waiver of sanctions over the Chabahar port as part of its moves to impose “maximum pressure on Iran”.
