Iran will be happy that Americans have left. Iran won't intervene in Afghanistan in any way as long as the Taliban abide by or work towards the following conditions.
1) Peace and stability on the Afghan-Iran border. No cross border raids and no mass exodus of immigrants into Iran.
2) Taliban do not harm Iranian diplomats. In Herat Iranian diplomats were not harmed in any way, which is a good sign.
3) Taliban do not harm or persecute Hazara or Shia people of Afghanistan.
4) Taliban work towards ending the drug trade which is extremely harmful to Iran.
My post was merely to highlight what the Taliban coming to power would mean for Iran, not to start the usual PDF arguments. But it was not unexpected, I guess.
Another point you may want to note in case you haven't yet, is that divisions in Afghanistan have run along linguistic and so-called ethnic lines much rather than confessional ones. They've mostly opposed Pashtuns and Parsi-speakers (Tajiks, Hazaras, Aymaqs), with Uzbeks, Turkmens, Baluch and Nurestanis being other parties involved.
Not to mention the conflicts that have existed between Afghan Shias themselves based on "ethnic" differences, namely between the Sadat and Hazara.
In fact, only the so-called "I"SIS-K grouplet implanted by NATO has strong sectarianist motivations. It is part of the zio-American agenda to try and add a "Shia-Sunni" layer to the conflict, primarily as a tool against Iranian interests and security. But of course all sides and their regional foreign partners (Iran, Pakistan, China) stand to lose if the US succeeds.
So we should avoid these terms, as it would only benefit the common enemy. Also let's hope dialogue will be encouraged as a means to guarantee peace between Afghanistan's various communities.
This is a good short clip from Raefipoor on the subject:
