ISLAMABAD: The Embassy of Pakistan in Tehran has categorically rejected reports concerning Ambassador Imran Ahmed Siddiqui, describing them as “baseless and factually incorrect” in a statement posted on its official X account.
The clarification followed the circulation of a video on social media showing a physical brawl among lawmakers inside Armenia’s parliament. The footage was falsely presented as showing an alleged attack on Pakistan’s ambassador to Iran, Imran Ahmed Siddiqui, in Tehran.
“The Embassy has taken note of certain reports circulating on social media and other forums concerning Ambassador Imran Ahmed Siddiqui, Ambassador of Pakistan to the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the Embassy of Pakistan in Tehran said in a statement posted on X.
“The Embassy categorically clarifies that these reports are baseless and factually incorrect,” it said.

سفارت جمهوری اسلامی پاکستان در تهران، از انتشار برخی گزارشها در شبکههای اجتماعی و سایر محافل درباره جناب آقای عمران احمد صدیقی، سفیر جمهوری اسلامی پاکستان در جمهوری اسلامی ایران، مطلع شده است.
سفارت بدینوسیله بهطور قاطع تصریح میکند که این گزارشها بیاساس بوده و از صحت و اعتبار برخوردار نیستند— Embassy of Pakistan, Iran (@PakinIran) November 1, 2026
The footage is from a confrontation between lawmakers in Armenia’s National Assembly on October 29. It has no connection to Pakistan’s ambassador or any reported incident in Iran.
The misleading posts falsely presented the parliamentary clash as an attack on Siddiqui, prompting the Pakistani embassy to issue a public clarification.
The episode highlights how footage from an unrelated event can be recirculated on social media with a false description, creating confusion about developments in another country.
Pakistan and Iran share longstanding historical, cultural, religious and geographical ties, underpinned by a common border and deep-rooted people-to-people connections.
Both countries have consistently emphasised the importance of maintaining friendly relations, strengthening regional cooperation and promoting peace and stability.
Diplomatic engagement, trade, border security and energy cooperation remain important areas of their bilateral relationship
