US offers $20 million reward for information on Iran's nuclear program

The US military announced a $20 million reward for information about Iran's nuclear program, including facilities, equipment, and personnel, as President Donald Trump reiterated that Tehran seeks a deal to end the ongoing conflict. The State Department's Rewards for Justice program, established in 1984, offers the payment and possible relocation, citing Iran's non-compliance with IAEA safeguards that has caused a loss of knowledge about centrifuge production and inventory. No specific criteria for earning the reward were provided. Trump stated US forces have effectively destroyed Iran's nuclear program, claiming without it Israel would not exist today, while also saying Iran's damaged economy and military make it eager to negotiate. Diplomatic mediation efforts continue to prevent renewed fighting.
