Nine protesters were shot dead on Sunday, 1 March after breaching the outer wall of the US consulate in Karachi, Pakistan.
The action followed news of US and Israeli strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Protesters chanted "Death to Israel, death to America" and smashed windows.
A local government spokesman, Sukhdev Assardas Hemnani, confirmed that US consulate security opened fire after protesters breached the outer security layer. Police reported nine dead and 34 injured, all from gunshots.
