World Islamabad Prepares for US-Iran Talks

(The Guardian) Islamabad prepares to host historic negotiations between Iran and the US
The streets of Islamabad are on strict lockdown as Pakistan’s capital prepares to play host to historic negotiations between Iran and the US that have dangled the promise of an end to war that has devastated the Middle East.

Even as the US-Iran ceasefire looked increasingly precarious, amid Israel’s continued bombardment of Lebanon and disputes over the terms of the talks, Pakistani officials insist that the make-or-break peace negotiations will be going ahead over the weekend as planned.

According to Iran’s deputy foreign minister Saeed Khatibzadeh, Pakistan’s interventions to maintain the peace and protect the fragile ceasefire have continued behind the scenes. Khatibzadeh claims that Pakistan has intervened to stop Iran retaliating against the strikes on Lebanon.

Ahead of the first round of discussions in Islamabad, which are due to take place on Saturday, army personnel and paramilitary rangers have been deployed and security has been beefed up across the capital. A public holiday was declared on Thursday and Friday and the streets remain eerily empty.

Officials have confirmed that the key delegations were due to arrive on Thursday night and Friday morning. On the US side, the White House has said their negotiating team would be led by vice-president JD Vance, with special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner also travelling to Islamabad.

Iranian officials say their delegation will include foreign minister Abbas Araghchi and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who were both part of the ceasefire negotiations. Senior figures from Iran’s revolutionary guard are also expected to attend.

Due to the high security risks involved, Pakistani officials have confirmed that there were three to four possible venues being lined up for the critical meeting.

The most high-profile attenders are expected to stay in Islamabad’s exclusive five-star Serena hotel, which may also play host to the talks. The hotel has been cleared of its guests and the surrounding 3km of roads have been shut off to cars and put under army control.

April 7th, 2026.->An apocalyptic day. A terrible and demonic event was scheduled for tonight. -> The world's spoken and written press announced a deadly battle according to the determination of the HORSERIDER of the red horse->(Revelation 6:3-4, take a look), who had given Iran a deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, scheduled to begin at night 20:00 EDT Tuesday (00:00 GMT). Revelation 9:15 says: -> And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour(20:00?), and a day(7h?), and a month(April?), and a year(2026?), for to slay the third part of men.-> Revelation 6:4 says:-> And there went out another horse that was red: and Power was given to HIM THAT SAT THEREON to take peace from the earth, and that they should KILL ONE ANOTHER: and there was given unto him a great sword. ->(By allegory, it means was given unto him a demonic MOUTH to speak atrocities and fomenting them throughout the world).

May our Lord GOD bless us and keep us and give us His protection. Amen.

You cannot defeat an enemy that you do not understand, nor can you establish peace with him when he views periods of peace as a simple strategy for eventually winning a larger war.
