India eager to join Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline: Iran official

and we can stop supplying water to u guys and really starve u guys

Well i don't think that india will be supplying any water during war time. Secondly india can technically stop water flow in 3 river where they have built dams for a short period as dams cant stop over flow as water will just keep coming. It will be like putting a water pipe in your mouth.
 
Here is an article which touches upon the emerging trade potential of Central and South Asia > Strategic dynamics of Gwadar and IP

(The author is downplaying the potential of Pak-Iran differences specifically when it comes to Afghanistan but he is spot on about the trade potential) In this scenario why the heck should we involve India? *Most of the benefits you mention will still be there *if Pk buys from Iran and sells to India on nominal profit.

We are talking about gas pipeline not trade. isn't it? If we resell it to India than we can't charge transit fee and 100% risk will be transferred on us as we have to provide gas on Indian border to get money. India will be happy with this arrangement as dealing with under sanctioned Iran will be only our headache.
 
India did not join IPI gas line because in return of not joining this and some other reasons, India was to get the Nuclear Deal. India was to join the NSG. The Quid Pro Quo was favourable to India. It was not simply about stopping in front of American pressure. India has never let go of its interests in front of any American pressure.

And I highly doubt that India would join IP gas pipeline now because while India is in NSG, it is still not in the Wasenaar Group. India wants to join this as well and US is the only one who can make this happen.


Lastly, LoveIcon is right. If India joins this pipeline, it would be most helpful to Pakistan and Iran. If India joins, not only would Pakistan get transit payment, it would make Pakistan immune to sanction as sanctioning India is very very hard.

You are correct that Nuclear deal was not directly linked with IPI but India's involvement in IP is not in Pk's interest.

Disagree. It is in both Iran's and Pakistan's benefit and that is the reason both these countries are very keen for India to join.
 
I doubt that india has got stomach for it. It will only going to need a nudge by americans.

Do it then:devil:

But seriously if India Joins it would be a win win Situation and also would help improve the relationship b/w INDIA and PAKSITAN
 
And what exactly is the price of gas?
and why Pakistanis are forced to pay surcharge for a pipe line construction which is going to supply gas to Indians?
