IP project in jeopardy: US threatens curbs if Pakistan pursues Iran deal, says Nawaz Sharif

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday said the United States has warned that the Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project could invoke sanctions on the country in the future.
Some 48 hours earlier, Foreign Office spokesperson Aizaz Chaudhry had disclosed that the government had presented US Secretary of State John Kerry a ‘non-paper’ over the IP pipeline, conveying Pakistan’s standpoint that the project was being undertaken to address the country’s acute energy requirements.
In the past too Washington has voiced serious concerns about the pipeline project. Earlier this year, then US State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said that Pakistan risked sparking US sanctions if it pursues its plans to build the $7.5 billion gas pipeline.

Mate, be honest here, would not have IK gone the same path if he was the PM? Curbs at the moment could hurt you real bad with the economy looking down, so is it not wise to suck up to them for now until you can start running on your own?

You can analyze all you want and take a call, as far as India is concerned we did what is best for us.
