US offers $20 million reward for Iran nuclear program intelligence

The US announced a reward of up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear programme, including facilities, equipment, and personnel, under the State Department's Rewards for Justice programme. The US Central Command stated the offer also includes possible relocation for informants, though it did not specify what information would qualify for the maximum reward. The State Department cited Iran's failure to meet IAEA safeguards obligations, which led to a loss of "continuity of knowledge" about key nuclear components. The announcement follows President Donald Trump's claims that US strikes severely damaged Iran's programme, while he said Tehran wants a deal. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated his government's pursuit of a diplomatic solution.
