US and Iranian officials head to Islamabad as potential peace talks stall due to the US’s continued blockade of Iranian ports. Also on today’s programme: the Lebanon ceasefire has been nominally extended, yet Israeli forces continue to strike; and a newly published book explores how a mother came to terms with the death of her son following the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel. Presenter Paul Henley is joined by Kadri Liik, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Europe think tank based in the Estonian capital, Tallinn, and Michael Peel, science editor at the Financial Times in London.
