According to Faisal of Edhi Foundation the firing was carried out from inside the Consulate’s batiment and the agitators, who entered the outer periphery of the diplomatic mission, received bullet wounds on front upper torso. It transpired that one marine personnel opened fire stationed there shot eleven people dead and injured 40 others (including cops).
Three cases were registered by state, on 2nd of March, against 150-200 unidentified individuals on terrorism charges. According to the FIRs the unidentified accused were vandalising the US consulate building, resorting to firing and arson. Moreover, as usual, a six-member team is supposed to ascertain facts in a week’s time.
American diplomatic mission in Islamabad took to the X to warn its citoyens: “We are monitoring reports of ongoing demonstrations at the US Consulates General in Karachi and Lahore, as well as calls for additional demonstrations at US Embassy Islamabad and Consulate General Peshawar.
“We advise US citizens in Pakistan to monitor local news and observe good personal security practices, including being aware of your surroundings, avoiding large crowds, and ensuring your STEP (Smart Traveller Enrollment Programme) registration is up to date.”
Iran’s 86-year-old supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – the man who controlled all of country (including military, judiciary, political & religious institutions) for 37 years has been neutralised in his office (along with army chief Abdul Rahim Mousavi, defence minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and) 40 other leaders, by the American-Israeli bombing on Saturday (28th Feb, 2026).
US President Donald Trump, taking to Truth Social on Sunday (1st March, 2026) morning proclaimed: “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS.
“He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country.
“We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!’
“Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated.
“The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!”
It may be recalled that American and Israeli forces had attacked a number of Irani cities (including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj and Kermanshah) at 9.30 am on 28th Feb, 2026. In response Iran had closed the Strait of Hormuz and launched missiles towards Israel and US airbases in Qatar, Bahrain etc.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi, FM Iran, posted on Social Media: “The destroyed building is a primary school for girls in the south of Iran. It was bombed in broad daylight, when packed with young pupils. Dozens of innocent children have been murdered at this site alone. These crimes against the Iranian People will not go unanswered.”
