Shiite Muslims Protest Against US And Israel In Kashmir, India
A Kashmiri Shiite Muslim man holds a portrait of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, during a protest against the US and Israel in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on January 16, 2026. Protests take place across the Kashmir Valley after Friday congregational prayers in support of Iran and against the US amid rising tensions between the two nations. Meanwhile, Iran's deadly crackdown appears to broadly quell protests for now, according to a rights group and residents, as state media reports more arrests on Friday in the shadow of repeated U.S. threats to intervene if the killing continues. The prospect of a U.S. attack retreats since Wednesday, when President Donald Trump says he has been told killings in Iran are easing, but more U.S. military assets are expected to arrive in the region, showing the continued tensions, Reuters reports.
