🇵🇰⚡️ || Why is Pakistan treating Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death as a major crisis ?

Pakistan is on edge after Ayatollah Khamenei's killing in US-Israeli strikes, sparking violent protests : 20-23+ dead, 100-120+ injured nationwide.

Key reasons & risks :

• Shia solidarity - Pakistan has ~15-20% Shia population (one of world's largest); Khamenei was a revered figure → massive grief/outrage, anti-US/Israel rallies (esp. Karachi, Lahore, Skardu, Gilgit).

• Border chaos fear - Instability in Iran could spill across 900+ km porous border: militants, arms, refugees, empowered Baloch insurgents → major security threat.

• Economic pain - Oil price spike + Strait of Hormuz risks → inflation surge; potential Gulf job losses cut remittances (huge lifeline) → worsens fragile economy.

• Sectarian flare-up - Could worsen Sunni-Shia tensions domestically, risking more violence.

• Govt condemned strikes, called for calm, banned gatherings, deployed forces/army in hotspots - but it's a volatile mix of religion, security, and economy turning into a real crisis.
