Tensions are running high in Islamabad as the city gears up to host a high-stakes meeting between US and Iranian diplomats this weekend, following a devastating six-week conflict that has claimed thousands of lives across the Middle East.
Security measures are in full swing, with key thoroughfares leading to the Red Zone – home to the capital’s most important government buildings – cordoned off and heavily guarded by military personnel.
The streets are dotted with checkpoints, and with a public holiday in effect, traffic is unusually light.
The Serena Hotel, a prominent landmark in the heart of the Red Zone and adjacent to the Foreign Ministry headquarters, has been taken over by security officials, with guests asked to vacate the premises.
According to Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan, a high-ranking delegation from Tehran, expected to be led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and accompanied by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, is now anticipated to arrive later today, following an earlier announcement on social media that was subsequently deleted.
The US delegation, headed by Vice President JD Vance and including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who previously spearheaded negotiations with Iran before the conflict escalated, is also expected to arrive in Islamabad later this evening.
