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.
President Trump released a statement on Saturday afternoon, confirming the death of the Ayatollah and encouraging the Iranian people to take over their government.

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.
