US offers $20m reward for Iran nuclear programme information

The US has announced a reward of up to $20 million for information about Iran's nuclear programme, with the State Department also offering relocation to potential informants. The move follows President Donald Trump's claim that Iran's nuclear facilities were "completely and totally obliterated" in a US-Israeli bombing campaign. Iran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful, while the US military has established Task Force Iron Gate to restrict Iran's movement of weapons and sanctioned material. Centcom estimates its naval blockade has prevented Iran from exporting over $25bn in crude oil. Trump has repeatedly threatened strikes on Iran's suspected underground nuclear site, though he said he was in "no rush" after midterm losses. Both sides are reviewing Qatari-mediated proposals for a deal, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
