3:42Now PlayingThe US Vice-President JD Vance has been holding face to face talks with senior Iranian leaders in Islamabad. It’s the highest level direct talks between the two countries since Iran’s Islamic revolution in. 1979.
There were three rounds of talks mediated by Pakistan in Islamabad, with the hope of agreeing a permanent end to the fighting in the Middle East that began with US and Israel attacking Iran and sparked a wider conflict and the closure of the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
There are huge obstacles to a lasting peace deal. The strait of Hormuz remains blocked to much shipping, pushing up global prices of oil and gas. In Lebanon Israel continues to attack Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy. More than 200 targets have been attacked there in the past 24 hours, with the death toll over 2,000.
Christian Fraser presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Caroline Davies and Lyse Doucet in Islamabad.
