On Thursday night, Israel strikes targeted areas around the Pakistan Embassy and the residence of Pakistan’s ambassador in Tehran, according to reports. The airstrikes occurred as the Iranian capital continues to endure sustained aerial bombardment, now in its 27th day.
Explosions were reported near the Embassy of Pakistan and Ambassador Mudassir Tipu’s residence at around 8:00 PM local time. Despite the intensity of the Israel strikes, no damage was caused to the embassy or the ambassador’s residence. All diplomatic staff, including about 20 personnel, remained safe and continued their duties.
Sources confirmed that heavy bombing affected surrounding areas, but key diplomatic sites were spared. Officials have not yet issued a statement regarding the incident.
The timing of the Israel strikes comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts. Pakistan, along with Türkiye and Egypt, is actively engaged in shuttle diplomacy aimed at brokering a ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Observers say the attacks highlight the fragile security situation in Tehran and the challenges facing foreign missions.
Ambassador Mudassir Tipu continues to operate normally at the embassy. Staff members have been maintaining routine operations despite the nearby blasts. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely due to the sensitive nature of the location and the ongoing conflict.
Residents of Tehran have faced repeated airstrikes over the past weeks. The latest Israel strikes add to mounting tensions in the region, affecting both civilian life and diplomatic activities.
While Pakistan’s Foreign Office has not issued an official statement, the situation underscores the importance of diplomatic engagement. Officials emphasize continued coordination with regional partners to ensure the safety of foreign missions.
