The Iranian flag has remained at half-mast at the Embassy of Iran in Pakistan as a sign of mourning on the sad occasion of fire in a Tehran trade center.

A big fire broke out in Tehran's first trade center, the Plasco Building, on January 19 causing the eventual collapse of the high-rise building. A number of firefighters were trapped under the rubbles. Search and rescue operation has been underway since then to save them.

On the occasion, the government of Pakistan and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in separate messages offered condolences to the government and people of Iran over the tragic incident.
