    Solution

    Recent reporting describes a new or strengthened shipping lane linking Indian ports (Mumbai/Mundra/Kandla) to Iran’s Chabahar and Bandar Abbas ports; India signed a 10-year agreement in 2024 to operate the Shahid Beheshti terminal at Chabahar and has obtained time-bound waivers/exemptions from US sanctions at intervals to continue operations — these moves are part of broader INSTC and regional connectivity initiatives.
