Middle East conflict should not spread - Blinken

Chania, Greece: Washington's top diplomat Antony Blinken said Saturday (Sunday in Manila) that he wants to make sure the conflict in the Middle East 'doesn't spread,' as he held meetings in Turkey and Greece.

Blinken, on a new tour of the Middle East, met Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Crete on Saturday, a few hours after a long meeting in Istanbul with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
