A violent mob in Pakistan stormed the United States Consulate on Sunday, March 1, 2026. The attackers reportedly breached the facility’s outer security perimeter and set portions of the building on fire, following news of death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a joint U.S.-Israeli military operation.

As per the local media, clashes erupted along major routes including MT Khan Road and Numaish/Nasim Chowrangi, where large crowds – many associated with Shia groups – marched toward diplomatic areas to protest and condemn killing of Khamenei.

Footage captured intense clashes between police and demonstrators outside the consulate. Protesters hurled stones, prompting authorities to use tear gas to control the crowd.
