Iran War Sparks Chaos in Pakistan: Exposes Asim Munir's Double Game and Failure to Control Streets
•Pakistan faces violent protests, diplomatic embarrassment, and contradictory policies following US-Israel strikes on Iran.
•General Asim Munir's leadership is criticized for oscillating between courting Washington and appeasing hardline Islamist sentiment.
•Official condemnation of the strikes contrasted sharply with widespread violent protests across Pakistan, particularly among the Shia population.
•Protesters stormed diplomatic premises, attacked government buildings, and clashed with security forces, resulting in 22 deaths and over 120 injuries.
•The unrest highlights how Pakistan's long-standing ideological mobilization and balancing acts have made it vulnerable to internal instability during regional crises.
