Pakistani Coast Guards stopped an attempt to smuggle 1.2 million liters of Iranian gasoline into its western Baluchistan Province, dpa reported on 5 June. A Pakistani official said ten oil tankers were seized, and the action stemmed from oil distributors' complaints that Iranian petrol is smuggled and sold throughout the province regularly. The Iranian oil and gas is cheaper than what is available domestically, so selling the smuggled Iranian products is very profitable. And in January, Iranian trucks were barred from entering Azerbaijan because they were carrying excessive fuel in extra tanks. Canadian physicist Real Decoste, director of the Canadian Center for Fusion Magnetics, said Iran is negotiating with his firm for the purchase of its know-how, technology, and an experimental reactor, Reuters reported on 7 July.

But not all of Iran's nuclear pursuits are going well. Czech parliamentary deputy Jiri Payne has expressed strong disapproval over his country's possible provision of cooling facilities for the Bushehr nuclear project. Payne said such a sale could have wide-reaching security implications, CTK news agency reported on 6 July, and he expressed concern over the reaction of the Czech Republic's NATO partners.
