Yeah it is but i guess iran will learn the hard way same as america did n in process got a threshing that it will always remember.

then why u think our CAOS every other day gives statements regarding CPEC and how its a game changer for us and how financially we r going to be in the league of top 25 countries in a decade?
It could also be that the Iranians wanted to play good guy bad guy and deliberately lured Indians so they could later have the pleasure of taking a dump on them..Iranians have their justifications to humiliate India...backing out of IPI and suspending payments for oil being two major of them...
Some rogue anti-Pakistan elements in Iranian state machinery were complicit...as anything in Iran is possible with bribes..
Iranians were complicit because the Indian comforted them to be a harmless information gathering operations which all spy agencies do on friends and foe alike. And the Iranians themselves wanted to inquire more information about Gawader itself. Because the Iranian side of Sistan-Balochistan border is heavily guarded and it is not possible for someone to enter and exit multiple times covertly...Four Pakistani army jawans were killed by Iranian border forces when they suspected them to be smugglers...Iranian border forces have order to shoot and kill anyone suspicious...
All evidence points to some form of collusion with Iranian state authorities even if it was only from low level rogue elements..and the post capture reaction had the Iranians engage in some petty media face saving..which as the saying goes "khisyaani bili khamba noche"
Pakistan sea bed extension makes it very expensive if not impossible...guarding a pipeline hundreds of KMS away from sea shore into international waters is another added expense...during time of war Pakistani sub marines can easily lay mines to neutralize the pipeline..

A UN resolution last March has dashed India’s hope for a natural gas pipeline from the Middle East. Internal assessment is that a proposed deep-sea gas pipeline from Oman and Iran would run into a diplomatic roadblock following the UN approval.
The $4-billion deepwater pipeline was proposed by South Asia Gas Enterprise (SAGE) from the Middle East — bypassing Pakistan — after the onland Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline got stuck on New Delhi’s decision to backpedal on the project because of geopolitical and security reasons.
sorry my bad i meant t say that CPEC related statements from his arnt only security related but economic, or financial related too. Specially before yr Naval officer was caught, yes however afterwards they r naturally related to its security.
to monitor all CPEC related projects and ensure it executing properly.and there wont be none since the west is also shocked n immobile to write the actual economic benefits of it. They r just paranoid abt China and its excess to Gwadar bullshit.
yeah i guess i still have to learn to be diplomatic sometimes.
cant happen now, Pakistan's EEZ isnt just 200 nm from coast. Its now 350 nmNot really that impossible I believe.
Some facts.
A bit of critical facts on the pipelines, both onshore and offshore. It’s 40 times safer than rail tanks and 100 times safer than road tanks. The spillage ratio is also fairly less—it is less than one teaspoon of oil spilled per thousand barrel-miles. Its usage will only grow bigger. The global oil demand, from 75 millions of barrels of oil per day (mb/d) in 2000 is likely to be 120 mb/d in 2030. Fossil fuels will remain the primary source of energy, meeting more than 90 per cent of the increase in future demands. Gas consumption in particular is likely to double by 2030.
Internationally, 32,000km of new pipelines are constructed each year. Around 8,000km of offshore pipelines are being built per year, with 60 percent in NorthWest Europe, Asia Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico.
This is despite the problems of laying offshore pipelines. Route-selection is critical given the geohazards, offshore ecology and physical factors—sea-depths can run many a kilometres deep under. Pipelines need to be laid on the seabed or below it inside a trench. Construction and maintenance is a major challenge due to wave and current dynamics.
One must not also forget that pipeline industry is “risk averse.” It will not take high risks for low rewards as the costs of mistakes—safety, environmental and fiscal—are immense. So the future of basic engineering is likely to be predictable and conservative. Still, 6,000 kilometres of pipeline were laid at the bottom of the North Sea some 40 years ago!
India set to sign agreement with Iran for undersea gas pipeline
Three-pronged push towards Central Asia
- New Delhi has approved a three-pronged push towards Iran and Central Asia
- It will fund a rail link between Iranian port city of Chabahar and city of Zahedan, located on the tri-junction of Iran-Afghanistan-Pakistan
- The rail link, when concluded, will join Chabahar port with INSTC orridor to provide direct access to Central Asia

New Delhi, March 14
In a decision of far-reaching strategic implications, India is all set to ink a deal to have a direct undersea gas pipeline from Iran, by circumventing Pakistan. Not only this, New Delhi has approved a three-pronged push towards Iran and Central Asia. It will fund a rail link between the Iranian port city of Chabahar and city of Zahedan, located on the tri-junction of Iran-Afghanistan-Pakistan. The rail link, when concluded, will join Chabahar port with International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) to provide direct access to Central Asia. It will also be used to establish greater links with Afghanistan as the India-built Zaranj-Delaram road in that country is close to Zahedan. In future, the undersea gas pipeline will bring gas from gas-rich Turkmenistan, a long-standing friend of India and a former state in the Soviet Union. A top official of the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre told The Tribune: “Yes, the deal for the Iran-India undersea gas pipeline will be done. Matters have become easier as the US-imposed economic sanctions on Iran have been lifted (on January 16)”. Rather India-Iran have held talks on key issues since the lifting of sanctions. Even during the sanctions, India was among the few countries allowed to buy crude oil from Iran. The $4.5 billion gas pipeline project will bring 31.5 million standard cubic metres gas per day to India’s west coast. The 1,400-km pipeline will bypass the exclusive economic zone of Pakistan — the EEZ extends to 200 nautical miles from the coast. Laying such a pipeline would need technical expertise for which a global consortium will lead the way.

thats great to know.....
sorry my bad i meant t say that CPEC related statements from his arnt only security related but economic, or financial related too. Specially before yr Naval officer was caught, yes however afterwards they r naturally related to its security.
But the latest is that army has request to be part of it as well.
In war India needs no excuse to enforce a blockade on Pakistan. Whether Pakistan mined the pipeline or not blockade always remains a possibility. No one see excuses in full time war.
We will play with whole India. This discussion only ends with mushroom clouds.During war you play with our oil pipelines..we will play with your water supplying rivers
yeah i guess i still have to learn to be diplomatic sometimes.
cant happen now, Pakistan's EEZ isnt just 200 nm from coast. Its now 350 nm
