Pakistan is set to host the second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran, aimed at addressing the ongoing West Asia conflict. Preparations are underway with expectations that talks will commence within the next five days, despite some uncertainty due to mixed signals from Iran. In response, Islamabad and Rawalpindi have been placed on 'red alert', with extensive security protocols being implemented. Luxury hotels, including the Serena, Marriott, and Move n Pick, have been instructed to vacate their premises, ensuring that these venues can accommodate the high-profile delegations. The Noor Khan airbase in Rawalpindi has been designated as the primary 'VIP strip' for the arrival of foreign officials, with specialized security teams already deployed. Local residents along the official travel routes have been given strict directives to refrain from recording videos of the convoys as they pass through, highlighting the heightened security measures in place. Authorities are also installing billboards to signal the importance of the upcoming talks, sending a clear message that negotiations are taking place.
