KARACHI, Pakistan, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- The Iranian government said it was concerned about the security situation in Pakistan, in particular the safety of a proposed 1,724-mile gas pipeline.
The sentiments from Tehran follow similar statements from the Indian government regarding the security of the Iran-Pakistan-India natural gas pipeline. In addition to security concerns, Tehran said it would ask for amendments to the Gas Sales Purchase Agreement to include threats in the region, the Pakistani Daily Times said.
The amendment would allow Tehran to suspend gas shipments from the South Pars field through the IPI should there be a "security incident" in Pakistan.
Iran, however, has backed demands from Pakistan on the entry point of the pipeline from India.
About 490 miles of the pipeline will travel through Pakistan's Balochistan province, with about 70 miles traveling through Sindh province to the Indian border.
There are suggestions from Iran to include China in the project.
