Negotiations between the United States and Iran are expected to begin this Saturday in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, and are projected to continue for several days.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the TASS agency provided this information, citing an informed source.
According to the source, the meeting will be organized in a closed-door format. The Serena Hotel is cited as the most likely venue for the discussions. A hotel employee previously confirmed that the establishment is preparing to receive the high-level delegations. Following the conclusion of the consultations, a press conference is reportedly planned. However, the embassies of the United States and Iran in Pakistan have not yet released official statements regarding the specific details of the Islamabad meeting.
Security measures in the city have been significantly heightened in connection with the upcoming talks. According to official bodies, these steps aim to ensure the safety of the foreign delegations. The Red Zone, where government buildings are located, has been completely closed to all traffic except for authorized special vehicles.
This diplomatic engagement comes at a critical juncture for regional stability. Under the administration of US President Donald Trump, Washington has maintained a complex diplomatic strategy regarding Tehran, often utilizing neutral third-party venues for sensitive discussions. Pakistan has historically served as a facilitator for regional dialogue, leveraging its strategic location and diplomatic ties to provide a secure environment for high-stakes international mediation. The choice of Islamabad underscores the ongoing efforts to address long-standing tensions through direct, albeit confidential, communication channels.
