Protests erupted across Delhi following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in a joint Israel-US airstrike on his compound in Tehran at age 86. Members of the All India Shia Council gathered at Jantar Mantar, while crowds assembled outside the Iran Cultural House. Protesters condemned the strike as a violation of the UN charter, with Delhi's Jama Masjid Imam calling Trump "against humanity." Security was significantly heightened citywide as additional police, paramilitary personnel, and barricades deployed near diplomatic missions and Shia-majority localities. Authorities confirmed the situation remained peaceful while monitoring social media and coordinating with community leaders closely.
