🔶 عراقچی called for condemnation of the US $20 million award

Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in reaction to the setting of a $20 million reward by the United States for receiving information about the facilities, equipment, and personnel of Iran’s nuclear program, asked the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency to condemn the move.

In a letter dated Tuesday (19 Aban) addressed to Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, Sanita Pauletta D’Syland, the current chair of the UN Security Council, and Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Araghchi described Washington’s action as “revolting and regrettable.”

He asked these institutions to explicitly condemn the American proposal and to warn about its consequences for the security of nuclear facilities and the staff of those centers.

The US State Department announced through its “Rewards for Justice” program on Friday (15 Aban) that it would pay a reward of up to $20 million in exchange for receiving information about the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic.
