At least nine people were killed, and dozens were injured on Sunday when Shiite protesters stormed the US consulate and clashed with Security forces in Karachi, Pakistan.
This came in response to the joint US-Israel operation in Iran, which killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday.
Video from the scene shows protesters storming into the Consulate.
Security forces were seen moving in on the protesters and deploying nonlethal munitions.
Per Fox:
Hundreds of protesters stormed the diplomatic compound in a sharp escalation of anti-American demonstrations.The unrest followed reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in a joint U.S.-Israeli strike, sparking anger among Shiite Muslims in Pakistan.
Witnesses told The Associated Press that many of the protesters were Shiite Muslims who expressed outrage over Khamenei’s reported death and alleged U.S. involvement. Protesters chanted anti-American and anti-Israel slogans, and attempted to breach the consulate’s perimeter.
Security forces deployed police and paramilitary units as clashes intensified outside the compound.
Between 25 and 30 people were wounded in the clashes, according to local officials.

This is nothing to worry about. It’s just because of a Boobtube video. /s
We should fully disable Pakistans nuclear weapons location next. They are no friends of ours.

“At least nine people were killed, and dozens were injured on Sunday when Shiite protesters stormed the US consulate and clashed with Security forces in Karachi, Pakistan.” I guess they don’t like the Sunnis all that much.
Pakistan’s nuclear deterrence is focused on India, their archrival.
Storm the US embassy or consulate today, lie about your qualifications and try to get a visa to come work here tomorrow.
In either case, there’s a lot of them, so 9 less won’t go missing.

Non lethal weapons??? Good choice. You lose.
Shiites make up roughly 15% of Pakistan’s population of about 250 million and represent one of the largest Shiite communities in the world. They have frequently staged anti-Israel and anti-U. S. rallies in the past, though clashes of this scale are rare.
Well it’s Pakistan
Why the hell do we have a consulate in PAKISTAN of all places, what, did we not have room in Gaza to put one
The U.K. loves their Pakistanis.
Aren’t they also fighting Afghanistan ?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Fill your gas tanks and I hope you are holding some energy investments. I’m reading that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz.
Well, for the last decade the United States has provided the instructional material and guidance for “largely peaceful protests.”
I guess they are only violent, insurrectionists or rioters if they’re MAGA based . . .
Darn. Our home grown PROtesters still don’t get it. If this administration was what they say it is, they’d end up like the folks did in Iran before the events that started Saturday. 35-45,000 killed by their leaders......
