Explosions on Iran’s main gas pipeline caused by alleged ‘sabotage’

There have been two explosions along Iran’s main south-north gas pipeline network on February 14.

They were caused by sabotage, Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji told state TV, without naming any suspects.

Authorities denied reports that the incident caused gas cuts to industries and offices in some provinces, state media reported.

  1. Saeed Aghli, the manager of Iran's gas network control center, told Iranian state television that a "sabotage and terrorist" action caused explosions along several areas of the line.

    There are no known insurgent groups operating in that province, home to the Bakhtiari, a branch of Iran's Lur ethnic group. Aghli did not name any suspects in the blasts.

    The IP pipeline has become a victim of geopolitics and a tussle between world powers operating in the region. In the beginning, India was part of the project but it pulled out owing to the influence of the United States, an arch rival of Iran.

  2. Iran needs to realize that putin is not a friend to them. He will gladly stage attacks anywhere against anyone in order to stoke violence. He's done it before many times over. Wake the f*** up.
