Abbas Irakchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, demanded in a letter to the UN Secretary General, the President of the Security Council and the Director General of the IAEA that the American proposal to pay a reward of up to 20 million dollars in exchange for information on Iran's nuclear program be condemned.
In this November 10 letter, Iraqichi described the US State Department's action as "dangerous" and said that this proposal could lead to espionage, sabotage and harassment of scientists and workers at Iran's nuclear facilities.
He also warned that such Yemeni actions endanger the nuclear facilities and the reliability of the IAEA's defense system, and may encounter problems in the normal implementation of Iran's defense obligations.
Iran's foreign minister demanded that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council hold America accountable for its actions. He also demanded that Rafael Grossi, the agency's director general, inform the board of trustees about the issue and take steps to prevent the disclosure of secret nuclear information.
