ISTANBUL, June 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Turkey on Thursday called on the United

States and Iran to halt their new round of attacks, saying it risked an

"escalation" in the Middle East war.

"The reciprocal attacks that began two days ago raise fears of an

escalation," Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told a press conference during a

visit to Sofia. "We recommend that the parties halt their mutual attacks and

resume negotiations."
