<b>Mudy Ji :</b>

As far as I know the Chinese have no interest in Iran/Paki Border.

I am making a “Long Shot” Guess.

If there is a Military Action by the USA on Iran – without it breaking into an all out war – the Persian Gulf will become a War Zone and ships entering the Persian Gulf will end up paying extremely high War Risk Insurance Premiums.

To avoid ships having to pay WRI Premiums (as ultimately the Country Export-Importing Country ends up paying the costs) Iran used the Port of Chah Bahar during the Iran-Iraq War.

As such if the Chinese and/or Iranians build an Oil Pipe Line to Chah Bahar then the Iranian Crude could be stored in Tank Farms in Chah Bahar for eventual Export to China.

The same, theoretically, could be done for Iranian Natural Gas to be exported in the form of LNG to China.
