In preparation for a potential second round of talks between the US and Iran, Pakistani authorities have significantly ramped up security measures, deploying over 10,000 police personnel and establishing more than 600 checkpoints in Rawalpindi, adjacent to Islamabad. This follows the first round of talks held on April 11 and 12, which ended without an agreement. Pakistan is actively working to facilitate further discussions aimed at resolving the conflict between Washington and Tehran. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has engaged in diplomatic efforts in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkiye, while Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir visited Iran to build consensus on contentious issues. Security protocols include sealing sensitive areas around Nur Khan Airbase and Islamabad International Airport, with a ban on drone flights and aerial activities to ensure the safety of high-level delegations. Additionally, a red alert has been declared in Rawalpindi, and various public venues, including restaurants and parks, will remain closed until further notice. Authorities have yet to confirm the timing of the second round of talks, and the ceasefire between the US and Iran is set to expire on April 22.
