Khamenei
Tells Zardari IP Pipeline Must Advance
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
on Wednesday urged the visiting President Asif Ali Zardari to press ahead with
a much-delayed $7.5 billion Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project despite U.S.
opposition, The News of Pakistan
reported today.
“The Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline is an important example of
Tehran-Islamabad cooperation, and despite hostilities towards the expansion of
ties we must overcome this opposition decisively,” Khamenei told Zardari. (The
News, 27 February)
“Accessing safe energy source is the first priority for any country
including Pakistan. In this region, the Islamic republic is the only nation
that has safe energy resources and we are ready to provide Pakistan its energy
needs,” Khamenei added.
Zardari also met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Pakistan is a begging bowl and Zardari is holding the bowl in Tehran while the Wahabbi freaks carry out a genocide of Shias in the failed state. Zardari is a mere messenger boy for the US and Saudis and the devious Pakistanis are merely securing their western flank as the endgame in Afghanistan will see a bigger Indian role. Iran is much better off creating a closer alliance with India than a charity case like failed Pakistan that has created nothing but problems for Iran, including MEK and Jundollah terrorism. The mullahs still get fooled by "pan-Islamic" nonsense. Iran like all major powers should look after its strategic and economic interests. India will be the 3rd largest economy in 5 years and Pakistan the world's poorest. The strategic equation is not that hard to figure out even for the illiterate mullahs.
As usually, the Supreme Leader has expressed logical point of view and advices, that always bring strategic benefits for Iran and its neighbors...
A-F
P.S.
I respond in advance, that any possible name calling or idtiotic comments will be another proof of the double standards carried of by the "rulers" of this blog...
Anon 5:52.....Before we start talking about strategic equations lets figure out how to get rid of the mullahs first.
let us wait for a week,i think something will come out from Islamabad concerning the deal!stooges are pathetic people,they tend to make DEALS then their masters pull the rag under their feet-!!
Mullahs suit the west as they keep Iran backwards. Not going to happen.
You are right. The Pakis can't even go to the toilet without US nod. Zardari is a double puppet, first he has to take orders from the corrupt Pakistani army and then the ultimate US masters. What can you expect from a begging bowl that has allowed the US to operate a black torture site at Karachi airport and the US Army Corps of Engineers is expanding that facility. Also the ISI has daily hit lists to kill Shias. There is a genocide against Shias and Hazaras in Pakistan.
Any type of trade or open borders with Pakistan is suicide for Iran and they will infiltrate terrorists from Baluchistan at will. The mullahs are bigger idiots than most think if they allow open access to Pakis. Iranian Sistan already has a Wahabbi infiltration problem from Chaman/Taftan. This pipeline will be a refinery for terrorists literally.
Anon 5:52 It seems you have just woken up to the changes in Iran. Iran does no longer value its relations on pure financial and economic benefits like the godless West.
It is working for Iran: the evidence is its strident march towards self-reliance and complete independence unheard of in the entire world. Iran has tried your recipe and failed miserably.
At least the "godless west" is not cutting the throats of other Muslims in the "name of God". Islam and ignorance have totally retarded the region. The illiterate Mullahs use the Arab creed of Islam to keep Iran in the 7th century ignorant bliss just for their own self-survival. The head mullahs would sell their own mother to hang on to power. The idiot Khamenei has created a bigger personality cult that the shah ever did.
