Answer 1
No, they are not at war. Iran and Pakistan are Muslim brother countries. Many of the Shiites are living in Pakistan and many other Muslim countries. The basic beliefs of both the sects are the same. Why should they be at war?
Answer 2
The question is posed makes an implicit assumption about the nature of Middle Eastern conflict which is incorrect. There is not a war between all Sunnis or a group representing all Sunnis and Shiites or a group representing all Shiites. Struggles between Sunnis and Shiites, which have sometimes broken out into actual war (such as the Lebanese Civil War) are localized national conflicts. People divide along religious lines for no other reason than that it works as a good ethnic-identifier. This is no different than the Catholic-Protestant conflict in Ireland or the Jugoslav Wars between Catholic Croats, Orthodox Serbs, and Muslim Bosniaks.
