Russia backtracks on Iran-Pakistan pipeline

[Tshering22]

Btw, is there any other option Pakistan has? They can try convincing the Chinese again?

Chinese already have pipelines from Iran. Why'd they finance this? What is the returns on investment for China?

Maybe they should ask India to finance and as a favor should not charge any transit if India joins the project.

Now what will Pakistan do? The USA said no, the Chinese bank said no, and now Russians. Is it the time to close the project?

I mean, is it the time to forget about it?

Its a very vital project. I am sure Pakistan can manage part of the costing from internal resources and rest could be funded by Iran.

Or they can hack Zardaris swiss accounts and finance the whole project. Or convince India to get on board - highly doubt there is a possibility of that happening,

I'm hopeful too. But we can see how the big players are getting out of it. I don't think Pakistan can manage the fund even for the part costing. Yet the fingers are crossed.

Pakistan need funds for so many thing Railways, Diamer Basha Dam, steel mills. So, it seems highly unlikely that pakistan could generate internal funds for the project.

Certainly they will be needing to cut down in some other projects specially from a budget of 250000 Crore I am sure the can manage to squeeze 4000 Crore/year to fund this lifeline project.
