India and Iran have signed a long-term agreement to further develop and operate the Chabahar Port, a project that was initiated in the early 2000s but faced delays due to geopolitical reasons. This deal is seen as a strategic move for India to gain connectivity to Eurasia and counter China's growing regional influence. The Chabahar Port is also viewed as a litmus test for the United States in recognizing India's value in deterring China and enhancing Iran's stakes in regional stability. Iran is looking at some investments from India in the Chabahar region following this pact, according to the Iranian Ambassador to India, Iraj Elahi.
