US offers $20 million for Iran nuclear program intelligence

The US government is offering up to $20 million and potential relocation for information about Iran's nuclear program, a move that has drawn criticism for contradicting previous claims that the program was "completely destroyed." The reward, announced by US Central Command under the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program, covers information on facilities, equipment, and personnel. The State Department cited Iran's non-compliance with IAEA safeguards, which it says led to a loss of "continuity of knowledge" regarding key components like centrifuges. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly stated US forces destroyed Iran's nuclear program, said Tehran is eager to make a deal to end the conflict. The announcement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts by Qatar, Turkey, and Pakistan to prevent a resumption of hostilities.
