Iran Press/ Asia: “We will not let anyone use their veto,” Dar said at a press briefing Tuesday, without naming the United States.
Pakistan and Iran signed a Gas Sales and Purchase Agreement in June of 2009 for a pipeline that would supply 750 million to 1,000 million cubic feet per day of gas to energy-starved Pakistan from Iran's South Pars Field.
The United States has threatened Pakistan with sanctions if it goes ahead with a plan to build the pipeline to import gas from Iran.
In February, Islamabad approved the construction of an 80-kilometer section of the pipeline to avoid having to pay Iran some $18 billion in penalties for years of delays.
