据英国广播公司（BBC）5月14日报道，印度与伊朗签署一份为期10年的港口开发和运营合同数小时后，美国政府警告称，考虑与伊朗进行商业交易的任何国家都可能受到美国制裁。

报道称，印度早在2016年就与伊朗签署了一项合作协议，开发位于伊朗南部具有重要战略意义的恰巴哈尔港，该港口靠近伊朗与巴基斯坦的边境地区。    NEW YORK -- Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker is stepping down after 27 years leading the company.Al Baker's retirement will go into effect Nov. 5, Qatar Airways said Monday. He will be succeeded by Badr Mohammed Al-Meer — who currently serves as the chief operating officer of Hamad International Airport in Doha, the hub of Qatar's national carrier.In Monday's announcement, Qatar Airways said that it “has grown to become one of the most recognisable and trusted brands globally” under Al Baker's leadership. The company pointed to seven “World's Best Airline” wins, among other allocates.During his tenure at Qatar Airways, Al Baker became known for being one of the most outspoken leaders in the airline industry — with a hard-changing, sometimes confrontational approach that carried into negotiations with manufacturers and others.Al Baker has also made some controversial comments over his career — including suggesting that women can’t run airlines and for calling American carriers “crap” and that their passengers were “always being served by grandmothers.” He later apologized for both remarks.Last year, Al Baker lashed out at critics of Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup, saying his nation will “always rub salt into the wound” of its adversaries — following concerns from some other countries and soccer teams over how Qatar manages its vast population of low-paid migrant workers and its stance on LGBTQ rights.In July, Qatar Airways reported a profit of $1.2 billion over the last fiscal year, boosted in part by the country’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. That's down slightly from the $1.5 billion profit posted the year prior — in part due to a spike in operating expenses, particularly in jet fuels as energy prices rose after the grip of the pandemic loosened and air travel resumed.Qatar Airway's earned revenue of $20.9 billion over the fiscal year, up from $14.4 billion the year before.。而在今年5月13日，伊朗道路和城市发展部长梅赫达德与印度港口、船运和水道部长萨尔巴南达在德黑兰签署协议，双方同意印度港口全球公司与恰巴哈尔港建立伙伴关系。印港口、船运和水道部长称这是“印伊关系的历史性时刻”。印度外长苏杰生称，该交易“将为在该港口进行更大规模投资扫清道路”。

恰巴哈尔港位于伊朗锡斯坦-俾路支斯坦省南端、阿曼湾东北部，地处南亚、西亚、中亚和印度洋的交会之地，被认为是国际南北运输走廊的战略枢纽。

二 | 根据这项协议，伊朗港口与海事组织将把恰巴哈尔港的部分货运和集装箱码头移交给印度运营。印度《经济时报》等印媒宣称，这是印度首次获得海外港口的管理权，是对伊朗的一次重要地缘政治接触。

不过，BBC报道指出，此举可能不会受到美国的欢迎。

三 | 仅在过去3年，美国对伊朗相关实体就实施了600多项制裁。当地时间5月14日举行的新闻发布会上，美国国务院副发言人韦丹特·帕特尔在被问及该协议时表示，美国对伊朗的制裁仍然有效，华盛顿将继续执行这些制裁。

帕特尔说，“考虑与伊朗进行商业交易的任何实体与个人，都需要意识到自己面临的潜在风险，以及潜在的制裁风险。

四 | ”报道称，印度尚未对美方这一表态做出回应。

BBC报道称，印度在2018年底开始负责恰巴哈尔港的运营，这个港口为印度产品通往阿富汗和中亚地区开辟了一条过境运输路线，无需再通过经由巴基斯坦的陆路路线，而印度和巴基斯坦的关系紧张。按照印度官员的说法，到目前为止，有250万吨小麦和2000吨豆类已经通过恰巴哈尔港从印度出发运往阿富汗。
