Tension permeates the air in Islamabad as the city gears up to host a high-stakes diplomatic meeting between the US and Iran on Saturday, following a devastating six-week conflict that has claimed thousands of lives across the Middle East.
A key thoroughfare leading to the Red Zone – a hub for government buildings in the capital – has been sealed off, with a visible military presence deployed throughout the city.
Roads in the vicinity are dotted with checkpoints, and with a public holiday declared today, traffic is at a near standstill.
The Serena Hotel, a prominent landmark in the heart of the Red Zone adjacent to the Foreign Ministry headquarters, has been taken over by security personnel, with guests asked to vacate the premises.
According to a recent update from Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan on X, the Iranian delegation – set to be led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and accompanied by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi – is now anticipated to arrive later today, after an initial announcement was made for a Thursday night arrival that was subsequently deleted.
The US delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, is also expected to arrive in Islamabad later this evening, accompanied by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff – the two individuals who previously spearheaded negotiations with Iran before the conflict escalated.
