The whole world is focused on the US-Iran peace talks. Pakistani jets will accompany the Iranian delegation heading to Islamabad. The high-level preparations on the Pakistani side are interpreted as a sign that the Iranian delegation will definitely participate in the talks, while air defense systems have been activated in Islamabad's southern and western airspace.
Before the US-Iran talks, Pakistan established a large-scale security shield with fighter jets for the Iranian delegation.
As the world turns its attention to the critical peace talks planned between the US and Iran, extraordinary security measures are drawing attention in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. It has been reported that Pakistan's fighter jets accompanied the plane carrying the Iranian delegation. However, according to the latest information, the Iranian delegation has not yet arrived in Pakistan.
PAKISTAN AIRCRAFT IN IRAN
According to flight tracking data, Pakistan's JF-17 Thunder and F-16 fighter jets were spotted around Iran's Bandar Abbas port. It was stated that these aircraft accompanied the plane carrying the Iranian delegation for approximately three hours of flight to Islamabad.
Pakistan also activated IL-78 refueling tankers to allow the fighter jets to stay in the air longer. It was reported that C-130 Hercules aircraft were used for logistical support, and the AWACS systems, known as the "eyes of the sky," continuously monitored the airspace from Pakistan to the Persian Gulf.

DOUBTS ABOUT IRAN HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED
Following these developments, doubts about whether Iran would participate in the negotiations seem to have been alleviated. It is stated that after this high-level preparation, Iran will participate in negotiations with the US.
PAKISTAN IS NOT TAKING CHANCES
Another noteworthy development is that Pakistani aircraft were seen not only in Iranian airspace but also near the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. This situation indicates a broader coordination with Gulf countries.
Arab media described this deployment as "unprecedented," commenting that Pakistan sent a message of "not taking any risks."
“STEEL PROTECTION” SHIELD
The size of the air shield, referred to by experts as "steel protection," highlighted the importance Pakistan places on the talks it is hosting. On April 8, Pakistan played a role in achieving a ceasefire between the US and Iran with the support of countries including Turkey. Now, it is stated that the goal is to lay the groundwork for a permanent peace agreement.
ISLAMABAD HAS TURNED INTO A FORTRESS
Security measures in Islamabad have been raised to the highest level ahead of the summit. Some areas of the city have been closed, and air defense systems have been activated in the southern and western airspaces.
Pakistani Minister Mohsin Naqvi stated in an interview with Dawn newspaper, "A flawless security plan has been prepared for all foreign guests."
It is expected that Vice President JD Vance will lead the US delegation, while Iranian Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Baqir Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will lead the Iranian side.
THIS COULD BE A FIRST SINCE 1979
If the planned talks take place, it will mark the highest-level face-to-face contact between the US and Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Due to the weakening of the Iranian air force in recent conflicts, it is assessed that Pakistan has established a comprehensive air protection network for the Iranian delegation over Iran and the Persian Gulf.
