Israel strikes targeted areas close to the Pakistan Embassy in Tehran on Thursday night, according to media reports. The incident took place during continued aerial attacks in the Iranian capital.
The strikes caused loud explosions near the embassy and the residence of Pakistan’s ambassador, Mudassir Tipu. The blasts were reported around 8:00 PM local time. Despite the intensity, no damage was reported to either location.
Officials confirmed that all diplomatic staff at the Pakistan Embassy remained safe. Around 20 staff members are currently stationed in Tehran. Ambassador Mudassir Tipu also continued his duties without interruption after the incident.
The Israeli air campaign in Tehran has now entered its 27th day. Residents in the city have been facing repeated bombardment during this period. The latest Israel strikes added to the ongoing tension in the region.
Sources said heavy bombing occurred in areas surrounding key diplomatic zones. However, the Pakistan Embassy and the ambassador’s residence were not directly hit. This helped prevent casualties or structural damage.
So far, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has not issued an official statement on the situation. Authorities are likely monitoring developments closely due to the sensitive nature of the incident.
The timing of the Israel strikes is significant. Pakistan is currently involved in diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions in the region. Islamabad is working alongside Türkiye and Egypt to help mediate between the United States and Iran.
These diplomatic efforts aim to achieve a ceasefire and prevent further escalation. The continued strikes, however, highlight the fragile security situation in Tehran.
The safety of foreign missions remains a key concern as the conflict continues. While no harm was reported in this case, the proximity of the blasts raised alarm among diplomatic circles.
