U.S. Marines opened fire on demonstrators during the storming of the Karachi consulate over the weekend, two U.S. officials said on Monday—a rare use of force at a diplomatic post that could sharply escalate tensions in the country amid widespread protests over the killing of Iran’s leader.
Ten people were killed on Sunday when protesters breached the compound’s outer wall after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in strikes on Iran.

It’s weird to contradict yourself in a 1-sentence headline.
Ten people were killed on Sunday when protesters breached the compound’s outer wall after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in strikes on Iran.
Video on social media appeared to show at least one protester firing a weapon toward the consulate and bloodied demonstrators fleeing as shots rang out.
I mean, yeah. If you storm an embassy or shoot at it, you’re no longer just a “protester”, and they’re gonna defend themselves…
Yeah, I’d love to know what they thought was going to happen.
Iran was the largest supporter of international terrorist organizations…
Even if America and Israel “walked away” right now, we’re going to have reverberations for decades.
Best case scenario even, all those groups are going to harbor a grudge their funding gets cut off, and they target America and Israel. Worst case whoever gets the keys to Iran continues to support them, possibly even more because we just killed not only their leader, but everyone who was in a position to take over.
Why was? The regime is not gone.
The leader and pretty much everyone anyone had lined up to take over is dead…
Whoever comes out on top is likely to be connected to the last regime and will say they are the rightful heir.
But it’s a power vacuum.
We’re going to see between 3 and a dozen different people try to seize control, and no matter what they say it will be a different regime when the dust settles, even if it’s very similar.
Soon enough, insha’Allah, the Great Satan will be removed from the global South.
