It\u2019s the highest level direct talks between the two countries since Iran\u2019s Islamic revolution in. 1979.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s most powerful proxy.   More than 200 targets have been attacked there in the past 24 hours, with the death toll over 2,000.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Fraser presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Caroline Davies and Lyse Doucet in Islamabad.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our channel here: https:\/\/bbc.in\/bbcnews<\/p>\n<p>For the latest news download the BBC News app or visit BBC.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>#BBCNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US and Iran hold peace talks in highest level meeting since 1979 Islamic revolution | BBC News The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[11679,9111,11678,176,234,403,4946,236,220,193,4172,11677,203,216,226,11675,5950,1724,184,1050,1609,63,11685,225,47,110,38,9882,39,11415,194,65,215,7142,200,31,212,213,3099,19,1471,4605,5949,11674,181,69,201,218,11681,3720,11682,32,209,224,6199,219,48,1075,11683,11680,8502,11676,49,414,11684,235,29],"class_list":{"0":"post-7809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bbc-news","8":"tag-abbas","9":"tag-agreement","10":"tag-araghchi","11":"tag-bbc","12":"tag-bbc-news","13":"tag-beirut","14":"tag-block","15":"tag-breaking-news","16":"tag-danger","17":"tag-dead","18":"tag-deal","19":"tag-defeat","20":"tag-doha","21":"tag-east","22":"tag-economy","23":"tag-enrichment","24":"tag-fighting","25":"tag-foreign","26":"tag-gas","27":"tag-gaza","28":"tag-hamas","29":"tag-hezbollah","30":"tag-hopes","31":"tag-hormuz","32":"tag-houthis","33":"tag-inflation","34":"tag-iran","35":"tag-islamabad","36":"tag-israel","37":"tag-jd","38":"tag-killed","39":"tag-lebanon","40":"tag-middle","41":"tag-minister","42":"tag-netanyahu","43":"tag-news","44":"tag-nuclear","45":"tag-nuke","46":"tag-nukes","47":"tag-oil","48":"tag-pakistan","49":"tag-peace","50":"tag-president","51":"tag-price","52":"tag-prices","53":"tag-qatar","54":"tag-region","55":"tag-risk","56":"tag-sanctions","57":"tag-saudi","58":"tag-sharif","59":"tag-shipping","60":"tag-ships","61":"tag-strait","62":"tag-talks","63":"tag-threat","64":"tag-trump","65":"tag-uae","66":"tag-under","67":"tag-uranium","68":"tag-vance","69":"tag-victory","70":"tag-war","71":"tag-washington","72":"tag-way","73":"tag-world-news","74":"tag-yemen"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
