US to India: Iran not a reliable partner NEW DELHI: The US on Monday said that although it was up to India to decide on the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, Washington considers Iran to be 'not a reliable partner'. "Our experience with Iran makes us realise that it is not a reliable partner," US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Richard Boucher said here. Instead, he suggested and supported making Afghanistan a place for transit. "We think by opening up Afghanistan and making it a place for transit, we have made a positive change," the visiting US official added. The US is backing the Turkmenistan-Afghanisatan-Pakistan gas pipeline project and its possible extension to India as an alternative to the Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline. Boucher, however, added that it was for India to decide whether to go ahead with the tri-nation pipeline project based on commercial viability and its own experience of working with Tehran.
