In which one of the following countries is Chabahar Port located ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

Chabahar Port is located in southeastern Iran, on the Gulf of Oman. It is Iran's only oceanic port and consists of two separate terminals: Shahid Beheshti and Shahid Kalantari.

  • Strategic Significance: The port is a vital component of India's regional connectivity strategy, providing a sea-land access route to Afghanistan and Central Asian republics while bypassing Pakistan.
  • India-Iran Cooperation: In May 2024, India signed a 10-year contract to operate the Shahid Beheshti terminal. This agreement aims to enhance trade through the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
  • Regional Impact: It facilitates humanitarian aid and commercial trade for landlocked Afghanistan.

While Afghanistan utilizes the port for transit, it is landlocked. Turkey and the UAE are distinct regional entities with their own maritime infrastructures.
