Pakistan tightens security as it prepares for new US-Iran Talks

As the new round of U.S.-Iran talks hangs in the balance, Pakistan had tightened security, turning Islamabad into a heavily secured “safe island” for potential negotiations. Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam early said on Thursday that Islamabad remains the only venue for talks with the United States, adding that Iran only trusts Pakistan.

However, no dates had been finalized for the next round of talks between the two sides, and consultations were ongoing for a mutually agreed schedule.
