But the US is against any deal with Iran. Obama admin has expressed its 'desire' that Islamabad does not conclude any agreement with Iran for these reasons: 1. US does not want Iran to make money because they are trying to 'sanction' for Iran's nuclear attempt 2. US wants Pakistan to buy from the US so we can stay a ghulam and they can control. The US also wants Pakistan to stay in current power crisis so they can come to 'rescue' us. 3. The effect of Indian dams will minimize once we have the Iranian energy deal, thus slow the process of destruction of Pakistan which in turn will be a major disappointment of India. 4. US would never want to see any two Muslim countries get into any business pact. ts divide and rule. Might is always right!!! BUT FOR HOW LONG??
