"Pakistan handed over the body of Yasser Khan, who was killed in an alleged Israeli strike on Bandar Abbas port in Iran, to his family in Karachi for burial. Footage shows an Edhi Foundation ambulance delivering the coffin. Locals can be seen carrying the coffin and performing funeral prayers. Wajid Khan, the victim's brother, said "I got information that my brother Yasir Khan who was on a tug boat of Iran has been martyred and the entire crew drowned. The person who called me was named Subhan, who was his roommate; he was the one who informed me." According to Pakistan’s Edhi Foundation, "the body of Pakistani citizen Yasser Khan, who was martyred in an Israeli attack on Iran on March 23, was handed over to his family and the Edhi Taftan Emergency Center on the Taftan border." Pakistan’s Edhi Foundation reported "the repatriation of three other Pakistani citizens who were injured in Iran back to their country via the Taftan border crossing, and they were taken to a local hospital." It comes after Iranian media reported US-Israeli strikes hit a dock at the port in Bandar Abbas Tensions in the Middle East have escalated following joint military operations carried out by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28, at a time when diplomatic talks were underway on the country's nuclear programme. Tehran responded by launching strikes targeting Israel and US military sites in the region, with reports of explosions in several Gulf countries. Later, it was announced that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, had been killed, and his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was chosen as his successor. The confrontations also extended to Hezbollah in Lebanon, after it announced its intervention in the war in retaliation for the Iranian leader, while shipping routes in the region, including the Strait of Hormuz, became exposed to risks following its closure. The escalation also drove oil prices above $100 per barrel, increasing pressure on global markets and sparking protests in several countries."
