Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has asked the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency to condemn a US offer of up to $20m for information on Iran's nuclear programme.
In a letter dated 10 November, Araghchi wrote to the UN Secretary-General, the president of the Security Council and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. He asked for the letter to be circulated as an official Security Council document and as an IAEA information circular. Iran's state news agency IRNA has published the text.
AFP reported on 11 November that Iran called the offer "repugnant and regrettable". Araghchi repeated Iran's position that its nuclear programme is peaceful, according to the Times of Israel.
The US military announced the offer last week. It said up to $20 million and "possible relocation" were available for information on the programme's "facilities, equipment, and associated personnel".
Iran's mission to the UN in Vienna had already warned that anyone passing on information that helps attacks could face legal consequences, and said this included the IAEA. Defense News reports the warning was posted on X on Saturday 7 November.
