Argachi in a letter to Guterres, the President of the United Nations and to Grossi: condemned the repulsive statement of the USA.
Tehran, Irena -. The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Argachi, following the announcement by the US Department of State offering a reward of up to 20 million dollars for information regarding Iran's nuclear program, in a letter sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the President of the Security Council and the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), requests a clear response and such condemnation.
The full text of Foreign Minister Argachis' letter is as follows:
In the name of God, the Most Merciful November 10, 2026, I have the honor to bring to your urgent attention the latest shocking announcement by the United States Government offering a reward of up to US$20 million, along with a possible transfer, in exchange for information concerning Iran's nuclear program, including its related facilities community and its scientific staff members.
The announcement, made public on November 6-7, 2026 through the United States Department of Justice's so-called "Rewards for Justice" program and distributed by the United States Central Command, raises serious concerns about its implications for the security and integrity of the peaceful nuclear program of a NPT member state.
The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns this reckless announcement and considers it particularly worrisome in light of the fact that it expressly encourages the provision of secret intelligence collection relating to nuclear facilities and material, technical equipment and scientific personnel. Such an approach risks encouraging espionage and harassment of nuclear scientists and technicians. It also raises serious concerns about the security of nuclear facilities and the safety of people engaged in peaceful nuclear activities.
