Serena Hotel in Islamabad Hosts US-Iran Peace Talks Amid Heightened Security
The Serena Hotel, a luxury five-star establishment in Islamabad, Pakistan, has been selected as the venue for peace talks between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the ongoing conflict involving Iran. The talks are led by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and senior Iranian officials. The city is under unprecedented security measures, with shops and offices closed for two days to ensure the safety of the delegations. Thousands of security personnel, including paramilitary and army troops, have established checkpoints and blockades across the capital, particularly in the Red Zone where government offices and embassies are located. The hotel, known for its picturesque grounds and Moorish architecture, is strategically located near the diplomatic zone and has a well-established security setup, making it an ideal choice for hosting high-profile guests.
