Chabahar project on track: Iran envoyThe Chabahar project has never been halted and continues to move forward steadily despite sanctions, Iran’s Ambassador to India, Dr Mohammad Fathali, told CNN-News18. Noting that Tehran remains open to dialogue with the United States, Fathali stressed that no official details of any new proposal have been released. He underlined that Iran seeks “durable and lasting peace" rather than a cycle of war and ceasefire, asserting that Tehran’s non-negotiable red lines include its right to peaceful nuclear energy under the NPT and the lifting of “unjust" sanctions. He also said that 'friendly countries', including India, face no restrictions in transiting the Strait of Hormuz. "So far, several Indian vessels have passed through this route with full security, and this process will continue in the future," he said. |
