Tehran calls US nuclear reward “repugnant”, seeks condemnation
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asked the IAEA and the UN Security Council to condemn the reward, which the US military announced last week with a possible relocation offer.
The US military offered up to $20 million and “possible relocation” for information on Iran’s nuclear programme, including its facilities, equipment and personnel.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the offer “repugnant and regrettable” and asked the IAEA and the UN Security Council to condemn it.
Iran says its nuclear programme is peaceful, and IAEA inspectors have been blocked from visiting bombed sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
The war began on February 28 after US-Israeli strikes killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Qatar and Pakistan have led diplomatic efforts to end the war, and Iran has tied reopening the Strait of Hormuz to US concessions.
