It is a fact that the gas pipeline will open a source of revenue to Iran.

It is a fact that that source of revenue will defeat the Iranian economic sanctions.

It is fact that the US tried to block the Urengoy gas pipeline to Europe to deny the Russians a source of revenue.

It is a fact that the US has been sabotaging the gas pipeline deal.

It also a fact that during the Cold War the US propped undemocratic regimes and dictatorships that crushed populations that wanted democracy when these dictators helped the US strategy.

My conclusions are always derived from facts.

The US tried to avoid this outcome to the last minute by trying to persuade india:

Oct. 27th:

Under Secretary of Treasury for International Affairs David McCormick had stated: “With regard to the Iran pipeline issue … we are hopeful that India won’t move forward on this.”

With Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson currently on a visit to India, it is likely the issue would figure during high-level discussions.
