Pakistan is taking extraordinary security measures in anticipation of a potential second round of talks between the US and Iran, following their initial discussions in April 2023 that ended without an agreement. Authorities have deployed over 10,000 police personnel and established 600 checkpoints across Rawalpindi and Islamabad to ensure the safety of foreign delegates. Starting from midnight on Sunday, sensitive areas, including Nur Khan Airbase and Islamabad International Airport, will be sealed off, and a ban on drone flights and public transport has been implemented. Additionally, several universities have shifted classes online and postponed examinations. A red alert has been declared, with police stationed on rooftops and special security protocols enforced in various districts. The ceasefire between the US and Iran is set to expire on April 22, adding urgency to the situation, although no official date for the next talks has been confirmed.
