Uncertainty continues over the next round of US–Iran talks as no clear confirmation has emerged about when or whether negotiations will proceed in Islamabad. The Pakistani capital remains under strict security lockdown, with key areas sealed off and movement heavily restricted due to anticipated high-level diplomatic activity. Despite preparations by authorities and international attention on mediation efforts, both Washington and Tehran appear divided over direct engagement terms. Iran has reportedly shown reluctance for direct talks, preferring indirect channels through Pakistan. Meanwhile, Islamabad’s security measures have disrupted daily life, highlighting the sensitivity and volatility surrounding the proposed negotiations and broader regional tensions. (PC: AP)
