Two Pakistani security sources say negotiations between the United States and Iran will likely be held before Friday, reports Al Jazeera.
Speaking to the media on condition of anonymity, they said their conclusion is based on several factors.
“Two US heavy airlift aircraft, C-17 Globemasters, have landed at Noor Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi”, near the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
They added that “roads from the airport to Islamabad’s Red Zone have been temporarily closed, indicating heightened security arrangements”.
Lastly, the sources said that “both the Serena and Marriott hotels in Islamabad are being cleared of guests with no new bookings allowed until Friday”.
The Serena hotel was the venue for the first round of negotiations between the US and Iran on April 11.
