Global reactions diverge sharply after the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Tehran that kill Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran declares 40 days of mourning, while scenes of celebration emerge abroad.

In Pakistan, however, protests spiral into deadly unrest, with at least 26 reported killed amid clashes and attacks on diplomatic and international facilities.

In this episode of The Blue Newsroom, Amber Rahim Shamsi examines Pakistan’s violent response, security lapses, and the cyber frontlines, including attacks on major media outlets. She breaks down the week that reshaped Pakistan and the Middle East, exploring the global divide, the storming of the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, and digital retaliation across regional news networks.
