Middle East 'does not need an escalation': EU top diplomat

EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas urged calm Monday after Iran and Israel traded strikes, testing a fragile truce and threatening hopes for a deal to end the Middle East war.

"Overnight, we have seen escalation again. I think the region does not need an escalation, but actually that parties sit down to a negotiation table and agree," Kallas said.
