Tehran to Take Islamabad to Court Over Breach of Gas Pipeline Deal 

The National Iranian Gas Company’s decision to appeal to the International Court of Arbitration over Pakistan’s procrastination to complete the Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline Project — aka Peace Pipeline — is a wise measure, a board member at the Iran International Energy Studies Institute, affiliated to the Oil Ministry, said.
“Islamabad has long been providing NIGC with lame excuses in breach of the terms of a gas import contract it signed with Iran in 2009. Enough is enough and filing a formal complaint against Pakistan should be a priority,” ILNA also quoted Mehran Amir-Moeini as saying.
“Tehran has asked Islamabad to carry out a segment of the IP gas pipeline project on its territory by February-March 2024, or pay a penalty of $18 billion,” he added, noting that the momentous decision is totally right as the neighbor has no intention to import gas from Iran.
