WASHINGTON: The United States warned Pakistan against entering ‘deals with Iran that may be sanctionable, a reference to Pak-Iran gas deal.

 

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said during a media briefing that Pakistan had better not sign agreement with Tehran. However, she said Washington wanted to help Pakistan overcome its energy crisis.

 

The spokeswoman also commented on Quetta’s Saturday bombing that led to killing of over 89 people saying innocent people were being killed in bomb blasts in Pakistan.

 

She said that John Kerry had talked to Pakistani leadership over action against terrorists. Nuland said that Washington wanted to expedite campaign against terrorism in collaboration with Islamabad.

John, you might be right about this current Pak govt, but thank god but they will be thrown out very soon, then we will have somebody with back bone and they will tell America to shove their sanctions where the sun dont shine!!

Where were you "Victoria Nuland " ? ....when civil nuclear technology was transferred to India, and for the past many years you have been watching energy crisis - you didnt acted at that time. Why all this crap now. This is our backyard, our neighbour, our region, all energy and other rights will be served to the people of this region, and not to colonials, nor invaders, nor murderers.

...... Pakistan had better not sign agreement ...... (or else!) So predictable. Just one country has its proverbial foot on US tail. All USA can do is bully other countries (who are willing to be bullied).

Who you are to dictate about our fate of the country. Friends can be changed but not neighbours. Pakistan should determined to keep contract active.

We should listen to the United States of America as it is the sole Super Power, and if we don't listen they will send us to the Ice Age after the stone age.

Well Pakistan has already received a message from US about Iran Pipeline project once Quetta faced the carnage. What else is the message. We need to say "Shut UP" to USA and if at all we could do something we should pay some money back to US in the same coins in Afghanistan. How about some green over blue
