"To
accelerate progress, the Iranian Oil Ministry officials suggested that Iran is ready to invest in the construction of a pipeline in the territory of Pakistan" in addition to a 
Iran,
he added. In 2010, Pakistan and Iran signed an agreement under which Tehran would deliver natural gas to its eastern neighbor in 2014, with sales to reach 750 million cubic feet (21 million cubic meters) of up to one billion cubic
feet
per day by mid-2015.
Project
included a gas pipeline, 900 kilometers (560 miles) in length, can be built with Assaluyeh in southern Iran on the border with Pakistan.
Another

Iran’s
South Pars field in the Persian Gulf. Although Iran has almost completed work on his side of the border in Pakistan, plans are faced with difficulties in the reluctance of investors who fear they may suffer from the sanctions.
Pakistan
claims that the pipeline is vital for efforts 
to
overcome the energy crisis it faces, but the United States has expressed strong objections to the project. He urged Islamabad to abandon it because the sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.
Pakistan,

Power,
thinks that the $ 7.5 billion gas project, as a partial response to the crisis that led to the shut down and suffocated industry. Iran has the world’s second largest natural gas reserves, is actively developing its production, but you can export only a small
part of it 
due to lack of pipelines or liquefaction infrastructure.
