Explosions reported near Pakistan embassy in Tehran

Explosions were reported near the Pakistani embassy and the ambassador’s residence in Tehran, according to diplomatic sources, as the Iranian capital continued to face sustained aerial bombardment.

Officials said all Pakistani diplomats were safe, although the blasts caused alarm among embassy personnel. The explosions were reported in the Pasdaran district, where sources said a military site opposite the embassy may have been the intended target.

Diplomatic staff remained on duty and no casualties or structural damage to Pakistani facilities were reported. However, the incident has underlined the growing risks for foreign missions operating in Tehran during the conflict.

The development comes while Islamabad is pursuing diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions between the United States and Iran, placing Pakistan in a sensitive position as both a regional stakeholder and a mediator.
