An explosion occurred near the Pakistan Embassy and the ambassador’s residence in Tehran on Thursday night, according to diplomatic sources cited by Geo News. The incident took place around 8 p.m. in the Pasdaran area, causing alarm but no casualties or damage to embassy property. All Pakistani diplomats were reported safe following the blast.
The explosion happened as Islamabad, Turkey, and Egypt were engaged in diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire between the United States and Iran. A senior diplomat said the blast was loud but did not break any windows, adding that embassy staff remain concerned due to the tense situation. Sources suggested that an Iranian military base opposite the embassy might have been the intended target.
Despite the risks, Pakistani diplomats continue to perform their duties. No injuries or structural damage have been reported so far.
