The US Department of State has announced a reward of up to $20 million for information about Iran's nuclear program, according to a report by One America News. This move comes amid reports of strikes on Iranian infrastructure, and the reward is being offered by the Rewards for Justice agency, which is part of the State Department.
The agency is seeking tips about various aspects of Iran's nuclear program, including facilities, equipment, scientists, and related technologies. The offer of a reward is likely a response to concerns about Iran's nuclear activities, which have been highlighted in a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The report, released in 2025, stated that Iran had enriched uranium to 60% purity, a level that is close to the 90% used in nuclear weapons. Experts have estimated that this quantity of enriched uranium could be enough for several nuclear weapons if it were to be further enriched.
The agency is offering not only a monetary reward but also possible relocation for individuals who provide information about Iran's nuclear program.
