But it seems that the sides are not taking interest in the continuation of the process. On 19 April , the whole day passed in convincing the Iranian side but no readiness could be seen while the US side remained busy in throwing threats and ultimatums in the already volatile environment for Islamabad Talks 02.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Islamabad&#8217; s Red Zone has been fortified for the security of the visiting negotiating delegations from 19th April till further orders creating problems for the citizens&#8217; free movement in almost half of the capital city while nothing is clear till the end of the long day of April 19.<\/p>\n<p>The United States is expecting unfairly and miscalculated the surrender of Iran on Nuclear and Hormuz while Iran is strict on America\u2019s naval blockade of Iran\u2019s ports and coastline as unlawful and a breach of the Pakistani-mediated ceasefire. So the 02nd round looks very difficult if not impossible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new hurdle in this round is the threat to lives of the Iranian negotiating team in a false flag. President Pezeshkian has expressed this threat in a recent interview conducted the day after his meeting with Pakistan&#8217;s Field Marshal in Tehran. Iranian delegation changed their route on return to Tehran after first round after they smelt threat from Israeli side.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Kl8X2AGu4p\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pezeshkian-welcomes-field-marshal-appreciates-role-in-mediation-shares-tehrans-view-on-us-israel-invasion-suggests-muslim-defence-block-asim-munir-expresses-hope-for-end-of-war\/\">Pezeshkian Welcomes Field Marshal | Appreciates Role in Mediation | Shares Tehran&#8217;s View on US Israel Invasion | Suggests Muslim Defence Block | Asim Munir Expresses Hope for End of War<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Pezeshkian Welcomes Field Marshal | Appreciates Role in Mediation | Shares Tehran&#8217;s View on US Israel Invasion | Suggests Muslim Defence Block | Asim Munir Expresses Hope for End of War&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pezeshkian-welcomes-field-marshal-appreciates-role-in-mediation-shares-tehrans-view-on-us-israel-invasion-suggests-muslim-defence-block-asim-munir-expresses-hope-for-end-of-war\/embed\/#?secret=cPi9m84vLk#?secret=Kl8X2AGu4p\" data-secret=\"Kl8X2AGu4p\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There is no specific date shared by the government of Pakistan for the talks as it was not mentioned in the first round as well because Iran was not ready to join the second round while Pakistan was convincing Iran to remain engaged for the sake of peace in the region.<\/p>\n<p>First , DPM\/FM Ishaq Dar called his counterpart Araghchi and discussed the matter and later in the night at about 10 PM the PM of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif held a telephonic conversation with President Pezeshkian.

I also shared insights from my recent engagements with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and T\u00fcrkiye.

It is expected that Iran will reach to a decision on April 20 morning and a delegation may leave Tehran for Islamabad in the afternoon, having a time of more than 24 hours before the ceasefire ends.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, at the end of the day, there was nothing finalized.
