Lahore in turmoil - Protesters burn fires and throw stones at US consulate as hundreds rally over Iran strikes

"Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the US consulate in Lahore on Tuesday to denounce American and Israeli strikes on Iran, with clashes breaking out outside the compound. Footage shows crowds throwing stones at the building, while some appeared to set fire to the main gate. Pakistani media reported that police and security forces used tear gas to disperse the protesters, and that the confrontation lasted for hours. Similar protests were reported in Karachi, Islamabad and Skardu. The US Embassy in Pakistan said it was monitoring reports of demonstrations outside the US consulates in Karachi and Lahore and urged US citizens to stay alert, avoid large crowds and keep travel registration details updated.   Washington and Tel Aviv launched coordinated strikes on 'Iranian military targets' on Saturday, with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating their intention to dismantle Iran's missile capabilities.  In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced 'widespread missile and drone attacks' targeting Israel. Reports indicated that US military bases in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, and Kuwait were also targeted.  Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in joint US-Israeli strikes carried out against Iran on Saturday, Iranian state television confirmed. The Supreme Leader, who had ruled since 1989, held ultimate authority over Iran's political, military and religious institutions.  Iranian officials warned that Khamenei's killing would mark a turning point, with the Revolutionary Guard vowing retaliation and declaring that "this great crime will not go unpunished."  The escalations follow three recent rounds of nuclear talks between Iranian and American officials, one held in Muscat and two in Geneva."
