Iran Claims Stronger Military, US Offers $20M for Nuclear Program Intel

Iran's army said Saturday it is "stronger" than before the conflict began, threatening immediate retaliation against any new US attack, while Washington offered $20 million for information on Tehran's nuclear program. Military spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated forces are on higher alert and more powerful than at the war's start, adding any response would be "immediate, effective, and without geographic limits" per Supreme Leader orders. Two explosions were reported on Qeshm Island, with Iran claiming it destroyed a US drone there. The US reward includes possible relocation for informants, as Tehran denies seeking atomic weapons. Diplomatic efforts intensified under Qatari mediation, with key talks focused on the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran says it will reopen only if Washington meets conditions including a regional ceasefire and sanctions relief.
