Pakistan and Iran Break Ground on Gas Pipeline Opposed by US

The presidents of Iran and Pakistan mark the start of construction on a much-delayed gas pipeline, despite U.S. pressure on Islamabad to back out of the project. The US has steadfastly opposed Pakistani and Indian involvement in the project, saying it could violate sanctions imposed on Iran. It's called the "peace pipeline". The $7 billion project has faced repeated delays since it was conceived in the 1990s to connect Iran's gas field to India via Pakistan.
