Ambitious gas pipeline plan is dilemma for Pakistan - The National:
"Pakistan is facing a conundrum. Led by the prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the new government is being pressed by the United States not to proceed with a US$7.5 billion gas pipeline project with Iran. But gas imported from Iran could avert the worst power crisis in Pakistan's history.
How can Mr Sharif go ahead with what is considered the country's energy lifeline, without damaging its relations with the US?
The US secretary of state John Kerry, during a recent visit to Islamabad, warned energy-deficient Pakistan that the pipeline project could invoke sanctions on the country."
