Though getting oil on deferred payments is a good thing (short term) but Pakistan should not get electricity for Gwadar port from Iran. Get the power for adjoining cities from Iran and use own power to run Gwadar port, we don't want them to shut down lights suddenly :D

I think that we expand relations wit Iran. I have a lot of respect for the Iranians for standing up for their great nation, maybe we'll learn a thing or two about being proud of ones country.

Absolutely, we should expand relations with every country in this world. Even with india (once they come back to their senses and stop terrorism in Pak).
