aur bhi strong ho rahi hai ki dono sides ke beech ek naya diplomatic round Friday se pehle ho sakta hai. Reports circulate ho rahi hain ki do U.S. C-17 aircraft Nur Khan Air Base par dekhe gaye, jisne is possibility ko aur fuel kiya hai, lekin is specific aircraft detail ko major international wire reports ne independently confirm nahi kiya hai. Reuters aur AP ki reporting ke mutabik, jo cheez zyada clearly confirm hoti dikhi hai woh yeh hai ki Islamabad peace talks ka ek aur round consider kiya ja raha tha, Pakistan mediation role me active hai, aur security arrangements noticeably tighten kiye gaye hain.
Islamabad aur Rawalpindi me jo heightened movement dekhne ko mil rahi hai, usne is story ko aur serious bana diya hai. Local reporting me Red Zone ke aas-paas road restrictions, transport suspensions, aur Nur Khan Air Base ke near red alert jaise steps ka zikr aaya hai. Kuch hotels ke guests ko relocate karne aur new bookings rokne ki reports bhi saamne aayi hain, jo normally tab hota hai jab city kisi high-level foreign delegation ke liye prepare kar rahi hoti hai. Reuters ne pehle bhi report kiya tha ki Serena Hotel pehle round ke U.S.-Iran talks ka venue tha, aur us waqt bhi capital me extraordinary security deploy ki gayi thi.
Lekin sabse important point yeh hai ki abhi tak official clarity poori tarah se nahi aayi. Reuters ke hisaab se Pakistan ne 16 April ko kaha tha ki second round ke talks ki koi final date set nahi hui, aur 18 April ko Iran ki taraf se bhi yahi signal mila ki next negotiations ke liye abhi koi confirmed date nahi hai. Iska matlab yeh hai ki ground par preparation aur diplomatic movement zaroor nazar aa rahi hai, lekin schedule abhi bhi fluid hai. Yani atmosphere “something is being prepared” wala zaroor lag raha hai, par “talks definitely before Friday” kehna abhi thoda early hoga.
Overall, Pakistan iss waqt sirf observer nahi balki active facilitator ke role me dikh raha hai. Pichhle Islamabad talks already U.S. aur Iran ke beech decades me sabse high-level direct engagement bataye gaye the, aur despite no breakthrough, dono sides ne dialogue ka door band nahi kiya. Isi liye current security build-up ko log ek signal ki tarah dekh rahe hain: region me tension abhi khatam nahi hui, lekin diplomacy ki line bhi abhi zinda hai. Agar next round hota hai, to uska focus sirf symbolic meeting par nahi, balki nuclear dispute, sanctions, aur wider regional stability jaise tough issues par hoga.
