Iran\u2019s 10-article plan will be the basis for negotiations. Lebanon is disturbing point in the process for Israeli violations of ceasefire. Iran also wants release of her assets ciezed by US before the commencement of the talks.<\/p>\n<p>Washington accepted Tehran\u2019s 10-point proposal, including the end of attacks on Lebanon, in a move that was hailed by countries around the world. However, the Israeli regime has continued its attacks both in Iran and Lebanon in breach of the agreed points.<\/p>\n<p>Red Zone of Islamabad is completely sealed for the public while local holidays has been declared for two days. The Interior Ministry of Pakistan has made fool proof security arrangements around the places where the members of the teams will sit for dialogue and stay.<\/p>\n<p>Serena Hotel was evacuated from the staying guests two days ago for the teams members and the dialogue is said to take place at Interior Ministry\u2019s premises in the Jinnah Convention Center in front of the hotel. Here Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diplomatic Enclave are at walking distence while Prime Minister Office and Presidency are at one minute drive.<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to the Trump administration describe the meeting as potentially game-changing. They view Ghalibaf, a former IRGC commander and regime insider, as a reliable channel who could help flip Iran from sworn enemy to key Middle East partner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62313\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Interior-Ministry-Pakistan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Interior-Ministry-Pakistan.jpg 500w, https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Interior-Ministry-Pakistan-300x83.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>Jinnah Convention Center of Islamabad that has been taken over by Interior Ministry of Pakistan is the expected venue of the dialogue<\/p>\n<p>The discussions, mediated by Pakistan, build on a fresh two-week ceasefire. They cover Iran\u2019s nuclear program, regional security, sanctions relief, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz after recent clashes.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s side says that he has pushed hard for peace through strength, using military pressure to force Tehran to the table. Supporters see this as smart realpolitik: end the endless conflicts, secure American interests, and avoid another forever war in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhalibaf\u2019s deep ties to the IRGC and \u201cDeath to America\u201d history make any alliance a long shot at best. Still, if Vance and the team deliver a solid deal that dismantles Iran\u2019s terror network and nukes without weakness, it could mark a rare win for stability under Trump\u2019s no-nonsense leadership, Washington sources add.<\/p>\n<p>On other side, Tehran will certainly demand full reparations for all the damage casued, as well as blood money for the martyrs and compensation for the war\u2019s wounded. Iran will definitely take the management of the Strait of Hormuz to a new phase.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan is supposed to facilitate both sides to meet in the middle of the bridge. Success depends upon the agreement on give and take basis and no act of power show or arrogance from any side.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"CH8Y2UlEKY\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/russia-china-stood-on-right-side-of-history-after-veto-of-us-drafted-bahrain-backed-resolution-on-hormuz-iran-envoy-in-un\/\">Russia, China stood on \u2018Right Side of history\u2019 after Veto of US drafted Bahrain backed Resolution on Hormuz : Iran envoy in UN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
