US stance on pipe will backfire.

Pakistan , India and Iran is on the verge of striking a deal on $7 billion natural gas pipeline project.

The project will help India and Pakistan fulfill their growing energy demand. This will also contribute to regional co-operation and stability.

However, Washington does not want to let this project succeed. It fears that this project will put more money in Tehran’s pocket ,which will help it to finance its nuclear projects.

Analysts say that US stance will backfire because if US try to stop this project. It will loose a major ally on war on terror.

Hi!Talking about the so-called Iranian-American conflict about Iran's Nuclear Program, I simply don't buy it, I believe that what we see in the news is but the tip of the iceberg
First of all, I ask my self the following question: "What if Iran's threat wasn't there?". The gulf countries won't be spending any more billions and billions of dollars on weapon they know they won't use!. What is more, Condalisa Rice wouldn't have used the (iranian threat) as an excuse to install the missile defiance system in Eastern Europe.
Finally and most importantly, the USA, you and me knows that that Iran can so easily make Iraq a hill for the US troops more than it is now. Do you think that the US can take the chance of a proxy war done by not a few number of Iraqis who are loyal to Iran?! The bottom line, Iran and USA interests crosses together!

Jameel,

I think US and Iran are working in collaboration. I will cite the example of Afghanistan invasion. US and Iranians officials held meetings in Switzerland to topple the government of Taliban, and Iranians extended help tp US forces.

Arabs can counter the US and Iranian influence in the region by helping Pakistan financially. Pakistan needs money to maintain its forces. If Arabs can provide the money, Pakistan can supply technology and logistical support to Arab States.

Arabs will have to kick UK and US out of middle east, they want to survive.

It is was the Britain that implanted Israel in the Middle East. But Arabs do not say anything to UK. Israel is not the culprit. UK and Bush Admins are. We need to shun them.
