Islamabad: Reports of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in an alleged joint strike by Israel and the United States have triggered strong reactions across the world. The incident has led to celebrations in some places and protests in others.

In Iran, reactions were divided. In several cities including Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, and Nurabad, groups of people gathered in the streets. Some women celebrated by dancing, bursting firecrackers, and honking car horns. They raised slogans calling for freedom. Many said they were protesting against restrictions on women’s rights during Khamenei’s leadership.

Iranian communities living abroad also held public gatherings. Large crowds assembled in Los Angeles, Times Square, Toronto, Munich, and London. Many waved Iranian, American, and Israeli flags. In Los Angeles, reports said that around 350,000 people took part in the gathering.

However, there were also strong protests condemning the attack. In Tehran’s Enghelab Square, thousands of supporters gathered to mourn Khamenei’s death. They held his photographs and raised slogans against the United States and Israel.

In Baghdad, protesters tried to enter the Green Zone area where the US Embassy is located. Security forces stopped them. Clashes broke out and stones were thrown. Similar incidents of stone pelting were reported near the US Embassy in Islamabad.

Protests were also reported in the Kashmir region. In Srinagar and other parts of Kashmir, people gathered to condemn Khamenei’s killing. Demonstrators raised slogans and expressed anger over the reported strike.

Small protest groups were also seen in Times Square and Los Angeles opposing the US-Israel operation. Demonstrations were reported in London as well.

The situation remains tense in several regions. Authorities in many countries have increased security around diplomatic missions and public spaces to prevent further violence.

World: An Indian man living in Dubai has appealed for help after his wife’s hospital bill crossed Rs 1.25 crore. The family is struggling to manage the rising medical costs during the ongoing regional conflict.

Thilakkumar Jalathu Aniruthraraj and his wife Shaamini Ramesh moved to Dubai from Tamil Nadu eight years ago. Thilakkumar’s wife had come to Dubai to visit them when she suddenly developed a severe bacterial infection.

She has been in the ICU for the past 40 days and is on ventilator support. Doctors say she may need the ventilator for at least two more months.

The hospital charges around Rs 3 lakh per day. With scans and treatment, the bill is increasing by nearly Rs 4 lakh daily.

The family planned to bring her back to India for cheaper treatment. Doctors had approved travel on a medical escort flight that cost around Rs 7 lakh. However, the flight was cancelled due to the ongoing conflict in the region.

Now their only option is a private air ambulance. The cost has risen to about Rs 50 lakh because of the crisis.

Thilakkumar said they cannot afford such a huge amount. The couple is now seeking help from charities and the public to bring his wife back to India for treatment.
