Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has formally requested that the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency denounce a bounty offered by the U.S. government for intelligence on Tehran’s atomic program. In letters sent to the UN Secretary-General, the Security Council president and the IAEA Director-General, Araghchi characterized the American State Department’s appeal as “hateful and regrettable.” The petition follows recent warnings from Iranian officials that any individual or international organization providing tips to Washington could face legal consequences.
