Protests In Kashmir Following The Killing Of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
Shiite Muslim women carry portraits of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the late Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as they shout anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans during a protest against the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Budgam, northeast of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on March 6, 2026. Authorities impose severe precautionary restrictions for the fifth consecutive day in parts of Kashmir to stop protesters following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader in joint US-Israeli airstrikes. Schools and colleges remain closed until March 7, and internet services continue to be restricted with speeds throttled to 2G. The United States and Israel start striking Iran on February 28, killing Iran's supreme leader and top military leaders, and prompting authorities to retaliate with strikes on Israel and across the Gulf.
