- US offers up to $20 million to Iranians for nuclear program intelligence.
- The "Rewards for Justice" program includes relocation assistance.
- Israel and Middle Eastern nations await potential US military strikes on Iran.
- Trump's advisors are divided on diplomatic versus military action against Iran.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has launched a program offering substantial rewards to Iranians who provide information on the country's nuclear program. Under the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" initiative, individuals can receive up to $20 million and assistance with relocation for details concerning Iran's nuclear facilities, equipment, and personnel, including scientists.
This initiative comes amid speculation about potential renewed U.S. military strikes against Iran, a possibility that Israel and other Middle Eastern nations are closely watching. The significant financial incentive is particularly impactful given Iran's high inflation and the devaluation of its currency, where one U.S. dollar is currently equivalent to nearly two million Iranian rials.
Meanwhile, advisors to U.S. President Donald Trump are reportedly divided on the best course of action regarding Iran. Some, including Vice President Pence and CENTCOM Commander, favor renewed military action. Others, like White House National Security Advisor John Bolton and U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, advocate for continued economic pressure through sanctions and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. A senior Western official told i24NEWS that a deal with Iran is not considered realistic.
