An on/off plan for Bahrain to import Iranian gas is off again over another diplomatic tiff. Manama said yesterday it had frozen plans to import fuel from Iran's biggest gasfield through a proposed undersea pipelinebecause of Iranian meddling in the country's internal affairs.
"The project to import Iranian gas is currently halted because of the blatant Iranian interference," said Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, the Bahraini foreign minister, according to Bahrain's official news agency, BNA.
"The repeated provocative statements from Tehran would no doubt be an obstacle to any agreement between the two parties," he told the local Al Watan newspaper.
