The White House announced on Thursday that the exemption, which has been in force since 2018, will end on September 29, according to Press TV.
The waiver of India allowed the development of Shahid Bishti station in Shabhar, which is seen as a major gate for Afghanistan and Central Asia. With its withdrawal, the entities participating in the project may now face penalties.
US State Department spokesman Thomas Begut said the decision was consistent with the policy of “maximum pressure” called “maximum pressure.” He said that cancellation means that any person or company working in the port process can be subjected to sanctions.
The port is located in Chabahar, and it allows India to access and outside Afghanistan, while it also feeds on larger communication plans such as the International Transport Corridor from the north and south.
India has already provided a $ 25 million equipment, shipping food supplies across the port, and in May 2024, a 10 -year agreement signed to operate it. Under this deal, India has pledged $ 120 million in investment and offered an additional credit line of $ 250 million for infrastructure promotions.
The waiver was originally granted in appreciation of the importance of the port to install Afghanistan and facilitate humanitarian charges.
Meanwhile, Iran criticized Washington’s dependence on sanctions. Tehran officials describe this approach as “addiction” that has continued since the 1979 revolution, with many Iranian entities that have repeatedly targeted the changing cashiers.
Meanwhile, the punishment comes as tensions between New Delhi and Washington are already rising under the Trump administration. Earlier this year, the White House imposed 50 percent on Indian commodities, previously doubled.
