Pakistan Imposes 3-Day Curfew As Pro-Iran And Anti-US Protests Turn Deadly With Dozens Killed

In response to escalating violence stemming from pro-Iran and anti-US protests, Pakistan has declared a three-day curfew in key areas, particularly surrounding the US mission. The unrest was ignited by the recent assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, in a coordinated attack by US and Israeli forces. This event has sparked outrage among various factions in Pakistan, leading to intense demonstrations that have reportedly resulted in dozens of fatalities. The government is facing pressure to manage the situation while addressing public anger over perceived foreign interventions. As tensions rise, security forces are on high alert to prevent further clashes and protect diplomatic missions, highlighting the fragile state of regional politics and the impact of international actions on local sentiments. The protests reflect broader anti-US sentiment in the region, exacerbated by the historical context of US involvement in Middle Eastern affairs. This curfew aims to restore order amid fears of further violence and unrest, as the government seeks to balance public safety with the right to protest.
