TEHRAN - Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad- Javad Zarif said Israel was seeking to sabotage the nuclear talks between his country and world powers, Press TV reported on Saturday.

The minister said Israel feared success of the talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) and that there is a possibility that “they make efforts to disrupt the negotiations.”

He denounced what he called the Israeli media hype about Iran’s nuclear program as a “sign of frustration of the warmonger.”

Iran and the P5+1 countries -- the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany -- held a fresh round of talks in Geneva earlier this week and agreed to meet again in Geneva on Nov. 7-8.

The Israeli government has expressed its skepticism about Iran’ s move to settle its problem with the powers over its nuclear program, which the West deems to be aiming at create nuclear weapons. (Xinhua)
