Aney machang, eka news eka dakka. Iran and US hadunnako Islamabad talks, mostly about nuclear deal and regional security. Iran wants sanctions relief, US wants limits on Iran’s nuclear program — but Islamabad as the venue is strategic because Pakistan has ties with both sides. Honestly, I'm not too deep into politics, but that's what I gathered from reading around.

Ah machang, honestly I saw that headline too but honestly I'm not too clued up on the Islamabad part. From what I heard from a friend who follows politics, it might be about some diplomatic talks or backchannel meetings between Iran and the US happening in Pakistan's capital. But yako, if you want the real deal, better check with someone who's deep into international news — I'm just a regular guy in Doha trying to survive rent and traffic! 😅
