Turkey remains 'optimistic' Middle East ceasefire will be extended

Turkey said it remained "optimistic" that a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States, set to expire on Wednesday, would be extended.

"No one wants to see a new war break out when the ceasefire expires next week. We hope ... the parties will extend the ceasefire," Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Sunday at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum.

"I hope there'll be an extension. I am optimistic," he said.
