Protesters stormed the US Consulate in Karachi following the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, clashing violently with security forces and leaving at least six dead and over 20 injured.
Hundreds breached barricades, smashed windows, and set parts of the consulate on fire while chanting anti-US slogans in solidarity with Tehran amid ongoing US-Israel strikes on Iran.
Pakistani police and consulate security responded with tear gas, batons, and live fire, regaining control only after heavy clashes.
The violence marks a sharp escalation in regional unrest, with authorities warning of potential copycat protests and mobilization by proxy groups across the region.
