Pakistan's 'Iron Escort' for Iranian Delegation
Pakistan has launched an unprecedented large-scale air defense operation in peacetime, deploying fighter jets, refueling tankers, AWACS systems, and support aircraft. This measure comes as Pakistan prepares to host crucial talks between the United States and Iran. Dubbed an “Iron Escort,” the mission’s primary objective is to secure the Iranian delegation’s arrival and prevent any disruption, including potential external threats. Islamabad remains under a tight security lockdown.
