Pakistan issued a fierce warning to Israel after US-Israeli airstrikes landed near Pakistan's embassy in Tehran, shaking the compound and surrounding buildings though its ambassador was unharmed. The government-affiliated Pakistan Strategic Forum declared: "Pakistan is no Qatar. We will beat hell out of them if any harm comes to our diplomats." The strike is particularly provocative given Pakistan's active role as a peace mediator, with PM Shehbaz Sharif publicly offering Islamabad as a venue for US-Iran talks. Washington has extended Trump's Strait of Hormuz deadline to April 6, citing ongoing negotiations progressing "very well" while Iran continues denying any formal engagement with the United States.
