EU foreign policy chief urges all parties to avoid further escalation
The EU foreign policy chief has called on all parties to avoid further escalation in the Middle East after US strikes on Iran-linked groups in Syria and Iraq.
"Everybody should try to avoid that the situation becomes explosive," Josep Borrell said at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
Borrell did not address the US strikes directly, but repeated a warning that the Middle East was "a boiler that can explode".
Everybody should "try to avoid an escalation", he added.
