Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that Israel is seeking to undermine a potential understanding between Iran and the United States, which he said is currently in its final stages of negotiation.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview with state television, Araghchi said, \u201cI must say frankly that this agreement has opponents, foremost among them Israel, which is looking for pretexts to sabotage it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the draft understanding under discussion with Washington includes provisions for lifting the maritime blockade on Iranian ports and establishing arrangements related to the management of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe maritime blockade must be lifted completely. This is the first point mentioned in the agreement,\u201d Araghchi said.<\/p>\n
He further stated that Iran has made a \u201cdecisive decision\u201d that the management of the Strait of Hormuz \u201cwill no longer be as it was before,\u201d noting that consultations with the Sultanate of Oman on the matter are still ongoing.<\/p>\n
