NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Secretary of State of Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday that Washington had conveyed its concerns to India over plans for a gas pipeline from Iran to India.The $4 billion pipeline through Pakistan, which was stalled for years because of tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad, has been back on the table since the nuclear rivals began a peace process a year ago.
The United States, which accuses Iran of trying to secretly develop nuclear weapons, has objected to the pipeline."Our views concerning Iran are well-known, we have communicated to the Indian government our concerns about the pipeline," Rice told reporters after talks with Indian Foreign Minister Natwar Singh.
