Due to the inept and shortsightedness of Pakistan's foreign policy makers and leaders within the gov.t and armed forces, Pakistan has been dealt another major blow after the U.S. Iran nuclear deal has seen a fruitful conclusion as a result of compromises from both sides in their ongoing discussion and has now enabled the easing of relations between Iran and the West.
As a result, among many possible deals being considered by the two sides are allowing NATO supply transit through Iranian territory for sustaining remaining NATO troops/presence in Afghanistan. Northern Alliance leaders are said to be helping in brokering the deal between the two sides.
Also, india is hastening the further development of Chabahar port for its future supply route/trade link with Afghanistan and Central Asia as a result of easing of ties between Iran and West.
Where Pakistan failed:
Our leaders failed to capitalize on the Iranian-Western rift which existed for quite a long time, enough time for us to be on better terms with the Iranians by securing our borders with them and not allowing foreign entities to use our soil as staging ground for launching terrorist attacks in Iran. Both Iran and Pakistan face similar threats from Afghanistan in the form of terrorism and drug/arms trafficking which both nations could have planned to tackle together had Pakistan been willing to discuss with Iran a post-NATO strategy for Afghanistan in which both nations would work together to keep out/put under leash any elements hostile to one another (Iran keeping out pro-indian elements in exchange for Pakistan keeping out Saudi funded Jihadis).
On the contrary, Pakistan blindly towed Saudi agenda or just remained inactive in bettering relations with its powerful yet isolated neighbor in the West.
The Consequences:
1). Drone strikes will increase as Pakistan would no longer possess a trump card against NATO.
2). Increase in indian influence in Afghanistan and strengthening of anti-Pakistani elements.
3). Iran would be in a better position to dictate to us any terms with regards to any future agreements.
4). Increase in BLA and terrorist/anti-state activities in our Western provinces.
5). We would be forced to allocate more resources from the East to the West leading us to stretch our resources to thin.
5). Our neighborhood would be even more shittier (for us that is) than before.

DF,
I like your posts.
But this one is incorrect as it lacks intimate knowledge of our region's history and geography.
Some of these things have already been refuted in a related article with topic like "NATO asking route through Iran".

Well said my bro.
Us Pakistani elite are responsible for treating our beautiful country as a pawn in our collective hands.
Pakistani Shias are lesser Pakistanis than irani-wanna-bees.
Large sections of Pakistani Sunnis are lesser Pakistanis than Arab-wanna-bees.
It is all in our heads and it is all in our hands.
But this dimwitted approach is supported by our leaders even today thanks to Taliban Khan Imran khan and Munawwar the pig who called Mehsud the murdered a Shaheed.
It is in us that we are more beardos, and more Islamists than even Iranis and Saudis.
peace
