Former Pakistani Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, reacting to the closure of roads, universities, schools, government offices, and many institutions in Islamabad due to the Iran–U.S. talks, stated that the people of Islamabad now want the city to be reopened instead of focusing on the Strait of Hormuz.
It is worth noting that strict security measures had been put in place in the capital, Islamabad, for the second round of negotiations between Iran and the United States; however, these talks did not take place on the second day.
