Iran says Saudi Arabia encouraging Pakistan to cancel pipeline project

  • Iran: Saturday, December 29 - 2012 at 02:47

Iran has accused Saudi Arabia of stepped up its efforts to discourage Pakistan from continuing its gas deal with the Islamic Republic, Fars news has reported, citing unnamed 'informed' sources. The kingdom vowed to satiate Islamabad's energy needs in case the latter discards its plan for importing gas supplies from Iran through a long waited multi-billion dollar pipeline project, the report said. "When Iran was trying to reach an agreement with Pakistan on the construction of the Pakistani part of the peace pipeline, Saudi Arabia attempted to convince Pakistan that it did not need Iran's gas," a source was quoted as saying by the news service, adding that Riyadh also promised Islamabad to provide for its needed energy supplies.
