Perhaps the real reason we keep bombing our ally Pakistan is to prevent construction of the IP Pipeline? --Pakistan has been pursuing the Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline Project and the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project to overcome the energy crisis in the country. However, pressure from the US on dealings with Iran have put projects with Pakistan’s western neighbour under a cloud. Pakistan’s Minister for State Shahnaz Sheikh said that a cess has been imposed on petroleum product prices to collect additional revenues for the IP project. The Minister further said that TAPI would be completed by 2017. Pakistan had signed a bilateral gas sales and purchase agreement on March 23, 2012 along with the heads of the respective commercial entities for the project which would provide 3.2 Mcfd natural gas from the Yoloten/Osman and 1325 MMcfd from India.
