WASHINGTON: The US said on Tuesday it does not support a Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project from going forward and cautioned about the risk of sanctions in doing business with Tehran.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, Petroleum Minister Musadik Malik had said that Islamabad would seek exemption<\/a> from US sanctions over the gas pipeline project.<\/p>\n

The Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline is a long-term project between Tehran and Islamabad, and has faced delays and funding challenges for several years. \u201cWe always advise everyone that doing business with Iran runs the risk of touching upon and coming in contact with our sanctions, and would advise everyone to consider that very carefully,\u201d a US State Department spokesperson told reporters in a press briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not support this pipeline going forward,\u201d the spokesperson added, saying that Donald Lu, the State Department\u2019s top official for South and Central Asia, had said<\/a> as much to a congressional panel last week.<\/p>\n
