Security in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad was stepped up visibly on Sunday (April 20, 2026)ahead of peace talks between the United States and Iran in the coming days.

President Donald Trump said U.S. negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday (April 21, 2026) to resume talks on ending the war with Iran, little more than a week after face-to-face talks in Islamabad on April 11 ended without agreement.
