Amid rising tensions, a major development has emerged from Pakistan. The U.S. Air Force has landed at least six cargo aircraft at Noor Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi, carrying vehicles, jammers, and advanced security equipment for the American delegation. Heavy security has been imposed across Rawalpindi and Islamabad, with parts of the capital under a virtual lockdown, as the delegation is expected to move from the airbase to Islamabad. Pakistan is making intense diplomatic efforts to ensure the success of the upcoming Islamabad Talks Part 2 between the United States and Iran. Officials, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, are in continuous contact with Iranian leaders to persuade them to attend. However, uncertainty remains as Iran has not confirmed participation. One key demand from Iran is the removal of the U.S. blockade on its ports. If Iran refuses to attend, it could embarrass Pakistan globally. The situation raises a critical question: will talks happen, or is a second round of conflict inevitable?
