India Reassesses Connectivity Strategy Amid Risks to Chabahar Port and Focuses on IMEC

India is reassessing its connectivity strategy amid heightened risks to the Chabahar Port following the US-Israel military action on Iran and the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader. While Chabahar remains strategically important for access to Central Asia and bypassing Pakistan, India is likely to increase focus on the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC), which avoids Iranian territory and sanctions exposure. Experts suggest India will seek to protect its investments through cautious diplomacy without abandoning Chabahar, despite uncertainties over regional stability and sanctions.
