A subsidiary of the Russian state corporation Rostech has offered to build a pipeline that will carry gas from Iran to cities in Pakistan. The project is estimated to cost $2.5 billion dollars. The pipeline will extend almost 1100 kms from Karachi, in southern Pakistan, to Lahore in the north-east. This is the first major project in Pakistan in 40 years in which Russians are involved.
Project terms
The project envisages the construction of five compressor stations. As planned, the project should be ready for the gas pipeline to enter into operation in 2017. During construction, “technology, materials, equipment and products of Russian manufacture” must be used “as much as possible”. Additionally, it is expected that Russian research, design and construction organizations will be involved.
Pakistan, for its part, guarantees the right to use the land along the defined pipe laying route, including for research and other works.

That’ll blow up real good.
A. Q. Khan is pleased.
More than pleased.
Note how Russia has linked Iran as the supplier to Pakistan as the consumer, moving the two into a closer economic relationship, and away from the West.
Saudi Arabia probably intends to nuke up, and Pakistan may be the place the Saudi's will look. Pakistan may refuse, and Russia has more influence with both Iran and Pakistan, now.
The Saudi's have recently (since the creation of ISIS), made nice with the Russians, fearing both Iran and the ISIS Caliphate.
And we got Obama and the NWO Socialist Rats playing for us. I wonder if Obama's EPA approved this pipeline?
