In a high-stakes security maneuver, Pakistan's air force ensured the safe return of Iranian negotiators from failed peace talks with the U.S. over the weekend. The operation involved two dozen jets and advanced aerial surveillance to counter an alleged threat from Israel, according to insider sources.

The initiative was a response to heightened concerns from the Iranian delegation about possible attacks during their journey home from Islamabad. Pakistan took extraordinary measures by deploying an Airborne Warning and Control System, ensuring protection to the Iranian border.

The operation, which is unprecedented in its scope, underlines the complex geopolitical tensions in the region, with Israel and Iran at odds, and comes amid ongoing negotiations between Iran and the U.S. Despite the inconclusive talks, dialogue is set to continue in Islamabad this coming weekend.
