Pakistan closed Gabd-Rimdan and Taftan crossings around Oct 17, citing security and smuggling, which halted Iranian LPG imports of about 7,000 tons daily and drove cylinder prices up sharply. Iran denies any export ban or retaliation. Its ambassador stated borders remain open with no restrictions on LPG, blaming Pakistan’s E-Form changes and noting hundreds of trucks stuck uncleared on the Pakistani side. Crossings have since reopened. Claims of redirection to China via Afghanistan come only from private trader Babak Zanjani and lack official Iranian confirmation.
@Bushra1Shaikh I have already asked @grok to at least give his two cents of assessment on this. Seems there absolutely no wird by either Iranian or Pakistani government in any way about this. https://t.co/Fm8RXD90Ep
@Persianserene1@grok 1.)Hey Grok,
Based on your assessment, is it true that Pakistan closed the crossings of Iran, and in retaliation Iran out a ban on exports of LPG gas to Pakistan? And did they just open access routes to China for LPG gas via Afghanistan besides just Pakistan?
The difference between those who have everything and those with nothing in this world is heartbreaking 💔

@Persianserene1@grok 2.) And if the border crossings have been repopened, is Iran selling LPG for the same price as before? Or have they jacked up the prices for Pakistan?

@Mohsin_o2 2.) that Pakistan has a contract with the Saudis, who you will eventually bend towards and eventually WILL attack Iran or Yemen eventually (as it is your "destiny"), and thus these shipments will also cease as they will be attacked and sunk.
@Mohsin_o2 1.) But "supply and demand" will push the prices up. Secondly, importing anything by boat is FAR more expensive that anything imported by land, especially by rail and even more effectively in this case, pipelines; the time and the fuel surcharges. Thirdly, let's not forget
@Bushra1Shaikh Then why didn't NOT EVEN A SINGLE NOTICE of this from the government was issued? Particularly Shahbaz Sharif? was issued? Especially from Shahbaz Sharif. YOU'RE spewing bullshit ma'am.
@Safarnejad_IR Also, my question is that if LPG exports to Pakistan have resumed, is it being sold at the same price as before? Or are they selling it now at a much higher rate?
