Indian government says, “U.S. sanctions on Iran have no bearing on India’s Chabahar port project”

External Affairs Minister of the Indian government, S. Jaishankar said, “U.S. sanctions on Iran have no bearing on India’s Chabahar port project.” He said those words in Lok Sabha on Friday. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) member, Ritesh Pandey asked the minister to give clarification on U.S sanctions on Iran. To which, the minister replied that U.S sanctions are not relevant to India’s Chabahar port project in Iran.

During the Question Hour in Lok Sabha, Ritesh Pandey said that the Iranian government has claimed that the Chabahar port project has been miserably delayed due to sanctions imposed by the US. He further claimed that China is reportedly trying to work on the project by taking advantage of U.S sanctions on Iran. Chabahar port is located on the Gulf of Oman. It is 72 km away from the Gwadar port in Pakistan which has been developed by China.

On which, the minister replied that his information is inaccurate as the sanctions have not affected India’s Chabahar port project. India signed the agreement with Iran in 2016 and took possession of the terminal in 2018. Indian Railways Construction Ltd. (IRCON) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Iranian Rail Ministry to provide all services for the establishment of the Transit and Transport Corridor.

Ritesh Pandey also asked another question to the government about the Taliban taking over the control of the Afghanistan government. He asked if India has signed a new agreement with Iran to continue using the Chabahar port to provide help to central Asian countries and Afghanistan after the Taliban took over the control of the Afghanistan government. The minister replied, “we are not required to have an agreement with the government of Afghanistan as the Chabahar port operations are limited to Iran.”

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
