Pakistan's ambassador to Iran has urged Pakistani nationals, including students and pilgrims, to keep their travel documents ready as protests continue to escalate across Iran. Iranian universities have rescheduled exams and allowed international students to leave for a month, prompting Pakistani students to plan accordingly. The unrest, sparked by economic grievances and the devaluation of the Iranian currency, has spread nationwide, leading to arrests, disruptions in communication, and a rising death toll. Pakistan has set up a crisis management unit at its embassy in Tehran to assist citizens, while restrictions on phone calls have been partially lifted but internet access remains limited. Meanwhile, foreign leaders have weighed in, with United States President Donald Trump expressing support for the protesters and Iranian officials blaming foreign interference for the violence.
