In the discussion thread: Iraq gives go-ahead for Iranian pipeline to Syria [View all]

6. So it would seem.

Unless, of course, Iran has plans to sell natural gas to Israel?

Just kidding about that. I am, however, suspicious of whether this is just a way to sneak some Iranian production past the UN sanctions and onto the world markets as relabeled Iraqi oil and gas. The Iranians and the Iraqis must realize how little chance Assad has of surviving long-term. Hmmmm?
