Iran urges UN, IAEA to condemn US nuclear reward offer
Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned that a US offer of up to US$20 million for information could endanger Iran’s nuclear facilities and scientists.
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.
