What, is Iran's natural gas OURs too (like Iraq's)? It's none of our business, no wonder so much of the world resents the US for sticking its nose where it doesn't belong. ** The Indian government plans to go ahead with the Iran-Pakistan-Indian gas pipeline project, despite pressure from Washington which opposes the deal... India wants to build a $7 billion pipeline from Iran through neighboring Pakistan that would deliver 5 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually over a 25-year period from 2009. India's statement came as a rebuff to the U.S., following Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman's recent assertion in New Delhi that the groundbreaking Indo-U.S. civilian nuclear cooperation deal may be jeopardized if the project went ahead, CNSNews said. Bodman said that he had "made it clear at the highest levels of the Indian government" that the U.S. opposed the pipeline. ...A World Bank report published Monday said Iranian gas supplies would cost India less than any alternative project, and supplies via Bangladesh were likely to improve the economic and political situation in the entire region. |
