Iran’s Larijani accuses Israel of trying to sabotage US negotiations

Tehran’s security chief says Israel is attempting to derail talks with Washington and provoke war in the region.
Iran’s security chief Ali Larijani has accused Israel of attempting to sabotage negotiations with the United States over Tehran’s nuclear programme, so it can ignite a new war that would destabilise the region.
In an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic during his visit to Doha, Qatar, where he met top officials on Wednesday, Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Israel had been fabricating pretexts to try to derail the negotiations with Washington, as the renewed talks were at a delicate stage.
“Our negotiations are exclusively with the United States – we are not engaged in any talks with Israel,” he said.
“However, Israel has inserted itself into this process, with their intent on undermining and sabotaging these negotiations.”
He said Israel’s strategy was “to destabilise the region”, and that its agenda “extends beyond its alleged concerns about Iran”, as was evidenced by its attack on the Qatari capital targeting Hamas officials in September.
