Pakistan is tightening security in Islamabad as the U.S. and Iran ready talks, and officials said President Trump could visit if a deal emerges.

The development matters because a breakthrough between Washington and Tehran could reshape regional stability, and Pakistan’s role as a potential mediator places it at the center of any diplomatic breakthrough while domestic safety concerns rise.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry said it has been invited to join the nuclear negotiations and is deploying full‑proof security measures across Islamabad, including additional checkpoints and police patrols[1].

U.S. special envoy Steve Wittenkoff said the Pakistani government has already forwarded a 15‑point peace plan to Tehran[3].

President Donald Trump said the U.S. had already held talks with Iran earlier in the week, while BBC said the negotiations are expected to take place by the end of the week[4][2].

Iran, however, denied any such negotiations, saying it had not been approached about a deal[4].

The actual venue for the talks has not been disclosed, but Islamabad is being prepared as a possible site should President Trump travel there after a deal is reached, positioning Pakistan as a mediator[1][2].

**What this means** The lack of a fixed schedule underscores the fluidity of the U.S.–Iran dialogue. Pakistan’s heightened security posture reflects both genuine concerns over a high‑profile visit and its strategic gamble to boost diplomatic stature by hosting talks that could alter the geopolitical balance in South Asia and the Middle East.

“ہمیں ایران اور امریکہ کے درمیان جاری جوہری مذاکرات میں شرکت کی دعوت دی گئی ہے”
