@CM

International agreements are governed by conditionality and consequence if things are not delivered.

The gas is cheap. It is available. It benefits the Pakistani people. That is why we should do it and not depend on the damn Americans.

A) Do you know that most of Iranian gas/oil and major production facilities are on its West side,

While Pakistan’s major needs and oil/gas/electric centers are on the East side.

B) Considering A), the physical distance between the producer and consumer side is roughly 700-1000 miles (900 km to 1600 km)? And it is mostly hilly terrain (unlike flat desert areas in some other areas of the Middle East).

C) Do any of you emotional types know what the “infrastructure cost” is to

1. Lay the gas pipelines from Iran West to the Pakistan East? Roughly 700-1000 miles of hilly terrain.

2. Same as #1 but for laying electricity lines.

Thank you.
