Tehran, March 27, 2026: Explosions were reported near the Embassy of Pakistan in Tehran and the residence of Pakistan’s ambassador in Tehran, as the Iranian capital endured its 28th consecutive day of aerial bombardment, diplomatic sources confirmed on Friday.
All Pakistani diplomats were reported safe, though shaken by the blasts, which occurred around 8pm on Thursday in the Pasdaran district — a high-security area of the city.
Sources indicated that the explosions took place close to both the embassy and the ambassador’s residence, possibly targeting an Iranian military installation located opposite the Pakistani mission.
A senior diplomat, speaking to media, said that while the blasts were loud, there was no damage to the embassy or staff residences.
“There were loud explosions, but our windows did not break,” the diplomat said, adding that personnel remain concerned given the volatile security situation.
Despite the risks, Pakistani diplomatic staff continue to perform their duties, as Pakistan — alongside Turkiye and Egypt — presses ahead with shuttle diplomacy aimed at securing a ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Authorities said the situation is being closely monitored, with no casualties or structural damage reported so far.
The ongoing conflict, which began on February 28 following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, has escalated into a wider regional crisis, impacting neighboring countries and triggering global economic concerns due to rising energy prices.
According to Ali Jafarian, at least 1,937 people — including 240 women and 212 children — have been killed in Iran since the outbreak of hostilities. Meanwhile, more than a dozen fatalities have been reported in Israel as a result of Iranian retaliatory strikes.
The conflict continues to raise fears of further escalation across the Middle East, with diplomatic efforts ongoing to de-escalate tensions.
