US offers $20 million for Iran nuclear program information

The United States is offering a $20 million reward and possible relocation for information about Iran's nuclear program, according to a Friday announcement by American military officials. The State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program targets Iranian nuclear facilities, equipment, and personnel, including scientists. The department cited Iran's failure to meet IAEA safeguards obligations, which caused the agency to lose "continuity of knowledge" on key components like centrifuges. The program, established in 1984, aims to protect American lives and interests. No specific criteria for the reward were provided, though reports suggest US-Iran negotiations are ongoing amid efforts to prevent renewed hostilities.
