Pakistan has issued a strong warning to Israel following reports of airstrikes conducted near its embassy in Tehran, raising concerns over the safety of its diplomatic staff. The warning comes after claims that Israeli and United States forces carried out aerial strikes in central parts of the Iranian capital on Thursday, including areas close to the residence of Pakistan’s ambassador and its embassy.

According to initial information, the Pakistani Embassy and its diplomatic personnel were not harmed in the strikes. However, the explosions were powerful enough to shake several nearby buildings, causing panic in the surrounding neighbourhood. The incident has heightened tensions, especially due to the proximity of the attacks to Pakistan’s diplomatic presence in Iran.

The government-affiliated Pakistan Strategic Forum delivered a direct message to Israel. It said, “Israel must remember, Pakistan is no Qatar. We will beat hell out of them if any harm occurred to our diplomats, anywhere in the world". The statement clearly underlines Pakistan’s position on protecting its officials and signals a strong response if any harm is caused to its diplomats, whether in Iran or elsewhere.

The development comes as the war in West Asia enters its 28th day. The conflict, involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, has seen multiple airstrikes across several Iranian cities. Apart from Tehran, strikes have also been reported in Kashan and Abadan, indicating a widening scope of military activity in the region.

The timing of these strikes is significant for Pakistan, as it is currently attempting to play a diplomatic role in easing tensions between the United States and Iran. Islamabad has expressed its willingness to act as a mediator and facilitate dialogue between the two sides. Pakistani officials have publicly stated that “if both parties desire, Islamabad is willing to host talks" between the United States and Iran.

At the same time, developments from the United States indicate a continuation of both diplomatic and strategic pressure on Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he is extending the deadline for Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, Iran had been warned of severe consequences, including potential strikes on its power plants, if it failed to comply.

In a social media post, Trump said, “Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media and others, they are going very well," while also confirming that the new deadline has been pushed to April 6. His statement suggests that negotiations are still being considered, even as tensions remain high.

However, Iran has rejected claims of any ongoing negotiations with the United States. It has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to friendly nations and has denied reports suggesting that talks with Washington are taking place.

The situation remains tense as military actions continue alongside diplomatic efforts. The recent strikes near Pakistan’s embassy have added a new dimension to the conflict, bringing concerns over the safety of foreign diplomats into focus. Pakistan’s strong warning reflects its readiness to respond firmly if its officials are threatened.
