Pakistan is preparing for potentially pivotal peace talks concerning US-Iran relations, with security in Islamabad heightened as the capital is effectively locked down. The ceasefire deadline is set for April 22, prompting the Pakistani government to act as a mediator. Reports indicate that US President Donald Trump announced a delegation would arrive in Islamabad, but confusion surrounds the delegation's leadership, with conflicting statements about whether Vice President JD Vance will attend. Meanwhile, Iran has expressed reluctance to participate in the talks, citing US sanctions and demands as reasons for its potential absence. The situation is further complicated by recent military tensions, including the US seizure of an Iranian cargo ship, which has escalated concerns regarding the fragile ceasefire.
