Islamabad Peace Talks: The second round of peace talks is to be held between America and Iran in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad, but it does not seem possible to say anything right now due to the continuous tension between the two sides. Meanwhile, if anyone is most worried, it is Pakistan. Pakistan’s situation is currently stuck in the middle, this is because Islamabad is busy preparing to welcome the delegation of America and Iran since Saturday (April 18, 2026) and Iran is refusing to come for talks regarding America’s behavior.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai confirmed on Tuesday (April 21, 2026) that Tehran has no plans to visit Islamabad at this time. The reason behind this is the contradictory messages, contradictory behavior and actions from the American side, which cannot be accepted.
The government of Pakistan has taken possession of Islamabad’s five star luxury hotel Serena and Marriott Hotel for the meeting and talks of the delegations of both the countries, the daily rent there is 53 thousand Pakistani rupees and for the hotel with 387 rooms, Pakistan is spending more than 2 crore Pakistani rupees a day. Understand it like this, the pavilion is ready at Serena Hotel in Islamabad, but it is not yet decided whether the wedding procession will come or not.
Pakistan stands with open arms to welcome US and Iran
Pakistan is standing with open arms to welcome the American and Iranian delegations. The entire city has become a cantonment. All schools and colleges from Rawalpindi to Islamabad are closed since Saturday. A large part of Islamabad has been made a red zone. Rangers of Pakistani Army are deployed in the Red Zone. About 10 thousand soldiers have been deployed for security. The highway from Rawalpindi to Islamabad is closed. Police is doing flag march. Big aircraft of the US Air Force have landed at the Noorkhan airbase in Rawalpindi and Pakistan is continuously claiming that negotiators from both the US and Iran will reach Islamabad on Wednesday (April 22, 2026), but those who have to come to shake hands are just playing with threats.

America and Iran are busy threatening each other
US President Donald Trump is not only warning, but just before the talks, Trump’s Navy attacked an Iranian ship passing through the Gulf of Oman and captured it. At the same time, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai also warned that we have become more cautious after the way America is behaving. Overall, the second round of talks between America and Iran has moved towards a major diplomatic confrontation.
According to the New York Times report, Trump is using pressure diplomacy while Iran is following a long game strategy. Trump is demanding immediate surrender and major results, while the Iranian leadership believes in a time-consuming process.
Iran believes that making an agreement with America is futile, because Trump is not only going back on past promises, but is also violating the ceasefire by carrying out blockade and attacks in Hormuz. Iran has tried to send the message that Hormuz belongs only to Iran. By waving the Iranian flag in the sky of Hormuz, the world has been told that Iran will never compromise on this.
Iran makes clear its stand on agreement with America
Iran has made its stand clear that no matter how many threats Trump makes, Iran will not be afraid. Whereas Trump, while talking over a phone call in a radio program on Monday (April 20, 2026), claimed that Iran will either compromise or face such difficulties which it could not have even imagined. Whereas the Iranian ambassador present in Pakistan said, ‘It is an accepted truth that no country with a vast civilization negotiates under the pressure of threat and force. This is an important Islamic and religious principle. I wish America could understand this.
There is bitterness on both sides. There is a lack of trust and the result is that the dishes are being prepared. The red carpet is being rolled out. Munir and Shahbaz are together getting the decorations done on the way from the airport to the hotel, but there is no guarantee whether the guests will arrive or not. 53 days have passed since the war started, but the world still does not see this war reaching any conclusion.
