US warns Pakistan: America has threatened Pakistan to face sanctions due to its increasing closeness with Iran. The statement of the American State Ministry has come after President Ibrahim Raisi's visit to Pakistan. Actually, Iran and Pakistan have agreed to increase their trade, which has hurt America. He says that those who deal with Iran will also have to suffer the consequences.
The President of Iran has recently visited Pakistan. During this tour, different enthusiasm was seen among the leaders of both the countries, both the leaders decided to forget their mutual differences and strengthen relations. Now America has become angry due to the increasing closeness between Iran and Pakistan. US State Department official Vedant Patel said, “We advise any country considering trade deals with Iran to stay away from such agreements or else it may face sanctions. ,
This statement of the US State Department comes after Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi's visit to Pakistan and several meetings with top Pakistani officials including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari. During the meetings, Raisi had expressed his displeasure over the current business volume between Iran and Pakistan. After the meeting, both the leaders have agreed to increase the trade between the two countries to 10 billion dollars.
Why can Pakistan be banned?
After threatening to impose a section on Pakistan, Patel said, “Pakistan government can talk about its foreign policy, but it may face sanctions on any trade deal with Iran.”
Let us tell you that America has already imposed many sanctions on Iran. In the recent Middle East tension, America is keeping an eye on Iran's support to Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthi and is trying to stop it through economic and diplomatic means.
In such a situation, if Pakistan goes ahead with Iran, it may have to pay the price. It will not be easy for Pakistan, which is going through an economic crisis, to face America's anger. Because the enmity between Iran and the West is old. Iran competes directly with America and Israel. On the pretext of the war between Palestine and Israel, Iran has also emerged as a leader in the entire Muslim world. Iran has been bearing the sanctions of America, but Pakistan is not in such a position to face the opposition of superpower America.
Gas pipeline stopped midway due to restrictions
It is noteworthy that in June 2009, an agreement worth billions of dollars was signed between Iran and Pakistan to build a gas pipeline. Although Tehran had completed 900 kilometers of pipeline on its side by 2011, Islamabad still has to complete 80 kilometers of the pipeline. Regarding which Iran had threatened to file a case against Pakistan in the International Court. Let us tell you that there was talk of completing this project also during this visit.
