Well Iranians havve confidence that it will be raised if they have started building. What you hoping that pakistan will fail in raising money.
1. Saudi Arabia is the largest supplier of oil to Pakistan.
2. Pakistan also gets a great deal of concessions and subsidies from Saudi Arabia.
3. Iran is being isolated on international levels. (Even India with ample forex had a very hard time paying them for the oil).
4. Pakistan's forex has been dwindling faster than what you may want to call "alarming rate".
I do not see any feasibility, for any of the countries involved, in the pipeline being so enthusiastically cheered in here. It will
never be an economically sound deal unless it also extends to China and India.
Both the countries, China and India, are waiting to see the success of the pipeline, and the mood of international heavyweights with respect to Iran.
Another note, I feel so compelled to state here... The US is neither an enemy of Pakistan, nor a friend of India. It has its own interests in the region. If the US were an enemy nation to Pakistan, none of all that has happened could have taken place. The US, with its strong influence on the KSA, can very easily choke Pakistan of all the energy supplies and bring it down on its knees in one single day. A civil war could be sparked in a week. But the US would never want that, for there are many beneficial purposes to be solved with a peaceful, sovereign Pakistan - for all the countries around, including the States.
Like someone pointed out to me, we should stop looking at the scenario as a zero-sum game. No efforts in the region will ever be successful, unless they are beneficial for all the nations involved, and in long term, for the whole world.
