“Pakistan risks sparking US sanctions if it pursues its plans with Iran to build a $7.5 billion gas pipeline linking the two nations, a senior US official said in a renewed warning Monday. ‘We have serious concerns, if this project actually goes forward, that the Iran Sanctions Act would be triggered,’ State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. ‘We’ve been straight up with the Pakistanis about these concerns.’ Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched the construction of a much-delayed section of the gas pipeline with his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari at a ceremony on the border of the two neighbors.”
