Memes flood social media as Islamabad gears up for crucial US-Iran talks

Islamabad is getting ready for one of the most high-stakes diplomatic meetups in recent years after Pakistan stepped in to mediate a ceasefire between the US and Iran.

On Friday, top officials from Washington and Tehran are expected to land in the capital, with talks set against Islamabad’s calm, lush green environs.

US Vice President JD Vance, along with Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, a close aide and son-in-law of President Donald Trump, is arriving in the capital for talks with Iranian delegation.

While diplomats prepare for serious conversations behind the closed doors, Pakistanis are doing what they do best: turning the moment into internet gold.

Social media has exploded with memes, jokes, and tongue-in-cheek commentary, with users imagining everything from JD Vance's appearance on a morning show to biryani diplomacy saving the day.
