Prominent Journalist Anas Mallick, in a recent tweet, said that the Iranian delegation is to arrive as per its schedule and the talks will go ahead as planned between the US and Iran.
According to the latest reporting by journalist Anas Mallick, the indirect talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad will take place as scheduled. Preparations for these talks in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, are complete, and these talks will proceed as planned. According to Anas Malik, there was some ambiguity about these talks during the past week; however, it has now been confirmed that both sides have agreed to continue the diplomatic process.
Pakistan has prepared a “two-phase ceasefire plan” in this regard, which has been sent to both the US and Iran for review. This plan aims to end military tensions in the Middle East and ensure the safe passage of commercial ships through sea lanes, especially the Strait of Hormuz.
My understanding on the now deleted tweet of the Iranian Ambassador is purely to do with security reasons — The Iranian delegation is to arrive as per its schedule and the talks will go ahead as planned between US and Iran.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office and senior officials have also confirmed that Pakistan is playing an important mediator role for peace in the region, and countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt are also supporting this diplomatic effort.
Anas Malik says that the main goal of these talks is a formal “Islamabad Accord”, through which a permanent ceasefire and the path to the renegotiation of nuclear issues can be paved.
