A country who has decided already to sanction you, why would it give you carrot now?
US is privy to many classified things, they know the ground reality at present. Iran has no FOREX, its about to capitulate!

finding a balance is the key.

What is yr Idea of balancing this situation?

 

[Ayush]

using diplomacy to prove that they need energy or perhaps that they needed a deal like that of indo usa nuclear deal. and try to avoid or at least limit the sanctions.

Who is financing it.

iran up to 500 million usd, rest pakistan

Baluchistan area from which pipeline is being laid is peaceful

Right now we hold the life line of US safe return from Afghanistan , as long as US care for their boys in Afg , they can only talk . & can only give empty threats .

Last time when we just stopped their supply line for few months ( and it wasn't even 50% of its total supplies ) , it costed US billions of dollars ( which they frankly cant afford right now ) .

And Besides if US (even dont caring about its troops in Afg) , puts sanctions on us , even then it wont be something new , we are a Nation who will live through every rough patch , as we have been doing for past 50 years .

In this situation it is Iran who is a villain and the culprit unlike Pakistan. And in this case diplomacy did not work vis a vis Iran who is under crippling sanctions with no mercy. it has no FOREX to import food. As for Pakistan and nuke deal, it was rejected by the US long ago. So what is left now for both nations? The main thing is financing and tech imports - and both are absent it seems.

Sanctions will hurt a lot less compared to an acute energy shortage. Without this gas, our factories cannot function properly thus crippling our economy. Thus, the benefits of this pipeline far outweigh the negatives of sanctions. Besides, Pakistan has plenty of options such as barter trade or trade denominated in Yuan or Rupees to bypass the sanctions. Energy is the blood flow of any modern economy, this pipeline is not just a want but a need.

I for one would fully support these sanctions. It would force our inept leaders to mobilize resources domestically and stop this wasteful spending. The foreign aid that we receive from the US is peanuts, not even a billion dollar annually. It would force us to rely more on our domestic resources more instead of the US subsidizing our inefficient economy and bribing our political leaders.

NOT a single pipe will be laid! this is just a PPP political election gimmick! look at how much the PPP has started to inaugrate projects in the last couple of months!

Will our factories be competitive internationally if we pay four to ten times the price for gas compared to others? Your point makes sense only if the price of supplied gas is reasonable according to prevailing market rates for gas, which are likely to fall, and not tied in to oil prices which are likely to rise.

As I read in Iran press, Iran invest 700 Million and about 150 Pakistan

1- Iran has all tech is needed for the Project so no need for tech import
2- Iran side of project is almost done and for Pakistan side Iran invest 700 Million and Pakistan will do 150 million

then there is no tech and finance problem for the project.
