US offers $20 million reward for Iran nuclear program information

The United States is offering up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear program, contradicting President Donald Trump's claims that Tehran's capabilities were obliterated. The State Department's Rewards for Justice program seeks tips on facilities, equipment, and personnel. The reward announcement follows Trump's repeated assertions that Iran's nuclear sites were destroyed during recent conflicts, claims challenged by independent assessments. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported Iran enriching uranium to 60% purity, a short technical step from weapons-grade level, with experts estimating enough material for several nuclear weapons. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful and views enrichment as a matter of national sovereignty. The reward comes amid ongoing US strikes on Iranian targets, including reported explosions on Qeshm Island, and a naval blockade aimed at choking Iran's oil industry.
