Iran: Argachi protests $20 million reward offer for information on its nuclear program.
Argachi wrote to the UN Secretary General, the President of the Security Council and the Director General of the IAEA, calling on the foreign ministries to propose a reckless and dangerous action that raises serious concerns for the peaceful nuclear program. He said he encourages secret intelligence gathering and spying on nuclear facilities, materials, equipment and scientists, stressing that the right of states to peaceful nuclear energy is recognized under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran demands that the UN, the Security Council and the IAEA explicitly and unequivocally condemn the statement.
