US Marines fired on protesters following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in American-Israeli strikes. The incident occurred after protesters stormed the US consulate in Karachi.
The attack, which resulted in nine deaths, marked a rare use of force by Marines at a diplomatic mission. Pakistan has banned large gatherings amid widespread protests over the strikes in Iran.
The US has suspended visa services in Pakistan until March 6 due to the current security situation.
