The last week has resulted in particularly important and intense interactions for trusted allies Pakistan and Saudi Arabia at a significant geostrategic moment for the Middle East and South Asia.

Here are the questions on everyone’s minds when it comes to the Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline. Is the project just cursed to fail? Or can Pakistan go through with it? Most importantly, does it truly want to?

Another decade, another precipice, another cutting edge experience.
