Opinion : It will de-escalate with small border skirmishes and routine insurgency like before.
1 . If you look at the geography of Iran and Pakistan, it is impossible for Pakistan to repeat air raid beyond Zahedan region. And with S 300 in Iran it will be almost impossible if they deploy it in southern region.
2. Most of the Pakistani jets will be shot down beyond Zahedan. Either Pakistan has to resort to long range cruise missiles or ballistic missiles. Fighting in Zahedan wouldn't cause much loss to Iran but more loss to India due to Chabahar and Bandar Abbas.
3. And fighting close to Gwadar will cause major loss to China and its CPEC. China will mediate between the both and won't allow to escalate.
4. Russia wouldn't also want them to escalate since it will cause damage to their strategic depth in West Asia.
5. Iran and Pakistan conflict could give excuse to many countries to deploy their navy in Persian Gulf to releave pressure from Red Sea and build pressure on Iran and Russians will not want it.
The Bad boy is Pakistan playing double game with China and US to milk both but since elections are coming it could lead to turmoil within Pakistan and it won't be in a condition to fight war for another 6 months.
