Pakistan has implemented large-scale security measures in the capital, Islamabad, ahead of a new round of negotiations between Iran and the United States.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing Reuters and official sources, that approximately 20,000 police, paramilitary forces, and army personnel have been deployed across the city to maintain order.
Security protocols have been significantly intensified at the designated negotiation venue, with surrounding areas evacuated and public transportation services suspended. These measures follow recent military developments involving the U.S. and Iran, which have contributed to heightened regional instability. Officials have characterized the current situation as high-risk, emphasizing that maximum security must be ensured to facilitate the diplomatic process.
The upcoming discussions are viewed as a critical step toward establishing a sustainable ceasefire and addressing long-standing geopolitical tensions. Under the administration of US President Donald Trump, the United States has maintained a focus on regional security and the containment of potential threats. Pakistan, which has historically served as a mediator in regional conflicts, continues to play a strategic role by providing a neutral platform for high-level diplomatic engagements between Washington and Tehran.
