Authorities in Islamabad have issued a detailed traffic advisory announcing widespread road closures and diversions across the city due to security-related arrangements linked to upcoming diplomatic activity, including expected US-Iran talks.

The Red Zone and Extended Red Zone have been completely closed for all types of traffic. The Islamabad Expressway between Korang and Zero Point has also been shut, while Srinagar Highway may face intermittent closures depending on the situation. Entry of all heavy transport into the capital has been strictly prohibited from all routes.

Heavy vehicle operators have been instructed to avoid traveling toward Islamabad during the restriction period to prevent disruption and delays.
