“Shouldn’t take a narrow view…” EAM Jaishankar on US’ sanction warning over India-Iran Chabahar deal

“Shouldn’t take a narrow view…” EAM Jaishankar on US’ sanction warning over India-Iran Chabahar deal
A day after the US warned of “potential risk of sanctions” after India inked a 10-year agreement for running the Chabahar Port in Iran, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasised that the project will benefit the entire region and people should not take a “narrow view” of it. He also pointed out that the US itself had appreciated the larger relevance of Chabahar in the past. The EAM was speaking at an interaction after the launch of the Bangla edition of his book ‘Why Bharat Matters’ in Kolkata.
On being asked about the US’ remarks, Jaishankar said, “I did see some of the remarks which were made, but I think it’s a question of communicating, convincing and getting people to understand, that this is actually for everyone’s benefit. I don’t think people should take a narrow view of it.”
“They (US) have not done so in the past. So, if you look at the US’ own attitude towards the port in Chabahar, the US has been appreciative of the fact that Chabahar has a larger relevance…we will work at it,” he added.
Earlier on Tuesday, the United States warned that "anyone" considering business deals with Tehran needs to be aware of the "potential risk of sanctions." "I would just say...US sanctions on Iran remain in place and we will continue to enforce them,” the US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson, Vedant Patel said at the press briefing."

whats going on here. the news keeps repeating, very frustrating.

[@marimuthurajendiran558]

Not sure for how many years India is going to bend like this. EAM words are like convincing them nothing bold

[@ganeshnair5486]

You would have dropped a Bhramos in bjdens office I guess 🤔

[@madhubala7975]

In all cases diplomacy is better than war.

[@dungurothu]

smart people always knows where to bend, where to backoff and where to take step. if you want him to thigh slap and utter nonsense from his mouth then you are in the wrong country. india is a land of diplomacy

[@Shucasm]

Untill and unless we become self reliant like Russia and China we have to compramise. Otherwise the dream to become superpower will only be a dream . In two years we will become third largest economy and probably better in defence and per capita . So will be difficult for even US to put sanction but right now we have to play cleaver like China .

[@DarkHeaven99]

Bend? Really? US previously threatened Bharat with sanctions for buying S400s, Russian oil & engaging with Iran. We have ignored in US these things & didn't face any sanction. So who bended in front of whom? A barking dog seldom bites, US is that barking dog.

[@dungurothu]

ANI is the worst news channel the way they do news coverage. why so much repetition. do you guys watch Hindi daily serials and get inspired?

[@21MultiArun]

😂😂😂 Please convey Indians whether the US is a friend or foe of india or just a diplomatic partner.. because Indians specifically bjp supporters think that US is the best friend of india seeing the videos of modi along with trump,Obama and biden😂😂
