A very shocking revelation has come out from the international diplomacy and geopolitical corridors of the Gulf countries, which has exposed the complete strategic failure of Pakistan to the world. Speaker of Iran’s Parliament Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has told a very sensational inside story. According to this revelation, due to the strict policies of US President Donald Trump and his tough stance towards Iran, a very important bilateral deal between Pakistan and Iran was completely destroyed. During this entire incident, due to the tough attitude of Iran and the double fear of American sanctions, Pakistan’s condition became such that it was forced to beg to save its reputation on the international stage.
The inside story of gas pipeline and strategic agreement
If we get to the bottom of this whole matter, this dispute is mainly related to the Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project, also known as ‘Peace Pipeline’. Iran had completed the construction of its part of the pipeline long ago and was continuously pressurizing Pakistan to complete its part. Pakistan was sweating in front of this tough arrogance of Iran because Islamabad was afraid that if it went ahead with Iran then American sanctions would completely ruin it. Qalibaf’s revelations have made it clear that Iran was in no mood for any kind of compromise regarding this deal, due to which Pakistan was completely isolated.
Donald Trump’s entry and Islamabad’s master plan failed
The biggest twist in this whole story came when Donald Trump, while in the White House, imposed the toughest sanctions ever on Iran. This aggressive policy of the Trump administration shook the then leadership of Pakistan. Trump had clearly warned that any country that has business or strategic relations with Iran will be thrown out of the American financial system. This one decision completely ruined Pakistan’s master plan through which it was hoping to get cheap Iranian gas. After this tough stance of Washington, Pakistan was left with no option but to withdraw from the deal, due to which Iran got enraged and imposed a fine of billions of dollars on Pakistan.
What is the path ahead for Pakistan in this era of poverty?
This revelation in the Iranian Parliament has once again exposed Pakistan’s dual policy and its helplessness to the world. In today’s time, when Pakistan is already trapped in record-breaking inflation, foreign exchange reserves crisis and stringent debt trap of IMF, this growing legal and strategic tension with Iran is going to increase its problems manifold. Iran has made it clear that it will not back down from its right to take the case to international courts. According to this ground reporter, Pakistan is now standing at a crossroads where on one side is the well of America’s resentment and on the other side is the gulf of Iran’s heavy fines, which currently seems impossible for the Shahbaz Sharif government to cross.
