Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said India can expand investment in Chabahar and deepen economic cooperation with Tehran. He also linked wider connectivity, maritime security and BRICS trade to a stronger India-Iran partnership.

In an interview with India Today, Masoud Pezeshkian said the US tried to topple Iran and install a puppet government. He said the plan failed as Iranians rallied behind the state despite attacks and internal discontent.
