Now they know who is their friend and who is their foe.............. I wished they would have guessed it earlier things could have been much more differnt.

They will feel more heat but Pakistan have an oppurtunity to cash. Do an agreement to sell things in rupee and irani currency.....

Iran Pakistan relations in brief.

Politically, Iran was the first country to officially acknowledge the newly formed state of Pakistan in 1947.
During the Shah's era, Iran moved closer to Pakistan in many fields and the two nations worked closely with each other. Pakistan, Iran and Turkey joined the United States-sponsored CENTO (Central Treaty Organization) defence treaty which extended along the Soviet Union's southern perimeter.
Their relationship further strengthened in the 1970s to suppress a rebel movement in Balochistan, across provinces of Iranian Baluchestan, Pakistani Baluchistan and Afghan Balochistan. In addition the Shah offered considerable development aid to Pakistan including oil and gas on preferential terms. Iran is also believed to have assisted Pakistan financially in its development of an atomic bomb program after India's surprise test detonation Smiling Buddha in 1974.
Pakistanis and Iranians frequently visited each other's countries. Considerable business, educational and infrastructure development took place in this period.
Both the countries joined the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), a derivative of Regional Co-operation for Development (RCD), which was established in 1964. The ECO groups neighboring Muslim states recently expanded to Central Asia. As part of this regional organizational framework both countries continue to cooperate on trade and investment.
Tehran has provided 50 million euros for laying of 170 kilometer transmission line for the import of 1000MW of electricity from Iran (2009). Pakistan is already importing 34MW of electricity daily from Iran. The imported electricity is much cheaper than the electricity produced by the Independent Power Producers (IPPs) because Iran subsidizes oil and gas which feed the power plants.
Iran has also offered to construct a motorway between Iran and Pakistan connecting the two countries.
