Barack Obama, the US president, has said that he is open to the idea of reaching out to moderate elements of the Taliban. Meanwhile, Iran has said that it is willing to consider taking part in a meeting with the US to discuss how "to help Afghanistan". Will talking to the Taliban improve security in the country the way reaching out to Sunni militants in Iraq did? How significant would this shift in US foreign policy be and why is Obama considering it now?
