Iran says ready to export gas to Pakistan

Iran said on Saturday that it is ready to provide natural gas to Pakistan within months through a key pipeline that has been the focus of energy talks between the two countries for years now.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani told reporters in Islamabad that a pipeline which has for long been projected to take gas to Pakistan has already been completed in the Iranian side.

Rouhani said this has put the Islamic Republic in a position to provide its eastern neighbor with natural gas within only a few months.
