Arterial roads leading into Islamabad are sealed, and the Red Zone, housing key government buildings and diplomatic missions, remains under a strict security cordon.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad late Friday for engagements with Pakistani leadership, but there is no clarity on whether direct talks between Washington and Tehran will take place.
A government official said a second round of peace talks between the US and Iran is expected to be held in Islamabad, but a US logistics and security team has not yet arrived.
