And now Trump comes after Chabahar port
The Sunday Guardian
|September 28, 2025
President Trump's geopolitical approach to West, South and East Asia in 2025 is a huge turnaround from that of 2018.
Why has the Trump Administration revoked a 2018 sanctions waiver on Iran's Chabahar Port in 2025?
Significantly, it was President Donald Trump during his first presidency who considered it important to provide a waiver on sanctions over development of Chabahar Port in Iran. It was again Donald Trump who had withdrawn in 2018 from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and reimposed sanctions on Iran.
Trump 1.0 administration is qualitatively different in content and quality from the current Trump 2.0 administration. India sought to develop the Chabahar Port in Iran as an alternative route to Afghanistan and Central Asia amidst US military presence in Afghanistan and China's construction activities in Gwadar Port of Pakistan under the China-Pakistan Economic Project.
It was a time when the first Trump Administration had launched an economic Cold War against China. It was also a time when the Indo-US strategic partnership was in place and Washinghton was aware that India's development of the Chabahar Port would in no way help Iran acquire a nuclear weapon capability and India's presence in a port closer to Chinese-built Gwadar Port could be of strategic importance.
President Trump's geopolitical approach to West, South and East Asia in 2025 is a huge turnaround from that of 2018. President Trump's foreign policy agenda is dominated by his desire to follow a policy of "America First" with little attention to its cost to the rest of the world.
