In Lahore, Pakistan, extensive security measures were put in place for the aircraft carrying an Iranian delegation to Islamabad for crucial peace talks with the US. The delegation, led by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, arrived early Saturday, with the Pakistani Air Force implementing extraordinary precautions due to the sensitive nature of the discussions. A notable security tactic involved a Pakistani airline aircraft flying alongside the Iranian plane, which had its transponder turned off to evade detection on secondary radar systems. This arrangement allowed the Iranian aircraft to be tracked only on primary military radar. The Iranian delegation's flight originated from Gorgan Airport in Iran, traversing Afghan airspace before entering Pakistan. Throughout the journey, a robust aerial surveillance system, including AWACS and fighter jets, was in place to ensure safety. These talks come shortly after a two-week ceasefire was announced, highlighting the ongoing tensions and the importance of these discussions.
