Iran says military stronger after US-Israel conflict; US offers $20M nuclear tip reward
Iran announced Saturday its military is stronger and more prepared than at the war's start following direct combat with the US and Israel, as Washington offers a $20 million reward for information on Tehran's nuclear program. Army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia said forces gained experience and confidence from the conflict, remaining on higher alert, while the strategic Strait of Hormuz stays closed until US demands are met. The US reward seeks details on nuclear facilities, equipment, and personnel. The war began February 28 with US and Israeli attacks, and mediators are working to prevent renewed fighting. President Trump claims Iran's nuclear program was obliterated and says Tehran wants a deal, while Iran's president affirms dialogue efforts continue.
