Islamabad has been turned into a high-security fortress ahead of the “Islamabad Talks 2026” between the United States and Iran. JD Vance, leading the US delegation, expressed optimism while warning Tehran against insincerity. Pakistan has enforced tight security, sealed the Red Zone, and introduced visa-on-arrival for delegates and journalists to facilitate talks. Led by Shehbaz Sharif’s government, the negotiations are expected to be indirect, with mediators shuttling between sides. Key participants include Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The high-stakes engagement aims to stabilise a fragile ceasefire amid ongoing regional tensions. (PC: AP)
