Violent clashes between protesters and security forces in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi and in the country’s north left at least 22 people dead and more than 120 others injured as demonstrators supportive of the Iranian government attempted to storm a U.S. Consulate on Sunday, authorities said.

In the north of the country, demonstrators attacked U.N. and government offices.

The violence came after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Police and officials at a hospital in Karachi said that at least 50 people were also wounded in the clashes and some of them were in critical condition.

          If Democrats want to win elections, they need to run candidates that care about the working class.

          Running on a platform of “deficit spending” is not enough. They need to raise taxes on the people taking us for a ride.

            How so?

            Biden and Harris went along with child genocide and a state-engineered famine. They would 100% bomb Iran if Benny told them to.

              No they didn’t. They still supported Israel, but they were making statements about tempering Israel’s approach. As Israel got worse and worse under trump’s encouragement, I’m pretty sure a democrat (or anyone sane) would have pushed back a lot more on Israel. Not enough, probably. But better is better.

                  Absolutely. But diplomacy starts with words and it sometimes works. We don’t know what would have happened next if trump hadn’t fucked everything ten times over. We know trump actively encouraged the genocide, so it’s a significant difference.

                LOL, they made statements about Israel’s approach for four years… but supported every single thing those murderers did. Their words are meaningless because when Benny tells them to jump, they jump.

                And when Benny told them to bomb Iran, they’d have done it.

                  Obviously, you can’t know that, so you are just making things up to fit your world view. But whatever, if you’re happy with the destruction trump allowed on Gaza, I can’t help you. Good luck.

    I cannot believe Hillary Clinton allowed there to be another attack on a US embassy. She should have to answer questions before Congress about this

      I would prefer she first answer more questions about her and Bill’s ties to a sex trafficker. It isn’t just Trump implicated in the Epstein files, and I don’t think anyone should get away with it. They should be digging into the darkest recesses of every single family whose surname is in those files.

        The reason the comment you reply to is ironic/funny and yours isn’t is because Hillary clinton herself hasn’t been mentioned a literal million times in the actual epstein files.

        And also, she isn’t president and isn’t actually starting wars to cover for whatever her involvement is or is not. She isn’t really an actual factor in anything.

      Fyi, these are the same people that blockaded the country when…

      …the government refused to execute that woman for blasphemy

      edit: here’s some reading material on the issue I’m referring

      So if you think this storming of a consulate shows their ‘resolute bravery’: they already blockaded the main highway of their capital for a month

    Did they expect a different response when storming a consulate building?
