they are SELLING the gas to us at the highest rate possible thats why!Why cant the Iranians build the Pakistani side as they have the necessary tech and experience to do it especially if they do it on BOT basis..this will make the IP deal more lucrative then anything else on table.
We should go for both projects for the future of our nation.
If the US is so bothered it should fund all the pipeline in TAPI and provide all funds for its security, which of course it won't as it bankrupt in fundamental terms. If it doesn't want to invest then it should shut the f up and mind its own business.
Why is there such a disparity in prices:
Iranian Gas: $12 per mmbtu
TAPI LNG: $18 per mmbtu BUT $4.5 per mmbtu with US persuasion. If the TAPI line can guarantee LNG at $4.5 for 50+ years with no increase in price in the future we should shake their hands and sign the deal.
How the hell can US get such a discount, i'm sure at that price they would save a lot in importing the gas to the US. Something fishy here.
Form a new bank that only deals with Iran and the US can stick its sanctions where the sun don't shine.
prices are always set on fuel. its 78% for iran, 70% from pipeline of Turkmenistan). now if USA can ensure it around 30-40 as it appears, then it will be absolute foolish decision to continue this project. We should then focus on TAPI,coal and hydral for long term. and LNG for short time...but i dont think so this would happen as the project has been politicised by both govt an opposition, in other words the IP proj is now a political one not a economic one.
