## Description

India Ports Global, the Indian state operator behind the Chabahar terminals, is reported to be on its way out - and with it the assumption that this stretch of the Makran coast is sanctions-safe. The US revoked the Chabahar sanctions exception in September 2025, and a conditional extension expired on 26 April 2026. Konarak Airport (ZBR) matters mainly in that context: it is the air-side complement to the Shahid Beheshti deep-sea port some 30 kilometres away and to India-Iran-Afghanistan transit traffic, sitting inside Iran's only oceanic free trade and industrial zone with bonded warehousing and simplified transit procedures. Scheduled service is largely domestic, toward Tehran and Mashhad, and a dedicated freight terminal with freighter operations is not confirmed - traffic realistically means belly cargo plus sea-air and air-road combinations feeding the International North-South Transport Corridor. Inland links run via Zahedan toward Central Asia, while Bandar Abbas carries Iran's main maritime volumes. For shippers, routing through ZBR is a compliance question first, with Bandar Abbas (BND) and Tehran Imam Khomeini (IKA) as fallbacks.
