S Jaishankar Responds To US Sanction Warning Over Chabahar Port Deal

A day after the US warned of "potential risk of sanctions" after India inked a 10-year agreement for running the Chabahar Port in Iran, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasised that the project will benefit the entire region and people should not take a "narrow view" of it.

He also pointed out that the US itself had appreciated the larger relevance of Chabahar in the past.
