pipeline between Iran and Syria. Officials said the pipeline would pump
Iranian natural gas to Syria over the next few years.
"The strategic gas pipeline will transfer gas from Iran to Iraq, Syria,
and the Mediterranean Sea and this is connected to the Arab gas pipeline,"
Syrian Oil Minister Sufian Alaw said.
