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."
