World : Iran Urges UN, IAEA To Condemn US Offer Of US$20 Mln For Nuclear Information
ISTANBUL, Nov 11 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Tuesday urged the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to condemn a US offer of up to US$20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear programme, warning that the move could endanger the country’s nuclear facilities and scientists, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
Iran's foreign minister has called on the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency to condemn a US offer of up to $20 million for information about Iran's nuclear program. The offer, made through the US state department's Rewards for Justice program, has been described as "abhorrent" by Iranian officials. Iranian officials say the offer could endanger the country's nuclear facilities and scientists, and potentially expose nuclear personnel to assassination and sabotage.
The US program provides financial incentives for information related to threats to US national security, and the latest announcement targeted Iran's nuclear program specifically. The dispute between Iran and the US has been ongoing, with tensions rising after a US-Israeli military operation against Iran in late February.
