US Offers $20 Million Reward for Iran Nuclear Program Information

The U.S. "Rewards for Justice" program has announced a reward of up to $20 million, along with potential resettlement, for information concerning Iran's nuclear program. This includes details on facilities, equipment, and individuals involved, such as those in scientific circles, as well as information on the movements of any related assets. The announcement comes amid ongoing U.S. and international concerns over Iran's uranium enrichment activities. In 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Tehran was enriching uranium to a purity of 60%, close to the 90% level required for nuclear weapons. Experts estimate that Iran, the only non-nuclear state producing uranium at this high enrichment level, possesses a quantity sufficient to produce multiple nuclear weapons if further enriched. The IAEA has also noted that Iran's non-compliance with its safeguards and nuclear monitoring obligations has led to a loss of "continuity of knowledge" regarding the production and inventory of certain nuclear components, including centrifuges used for uranium enrichment. This hinders the agency's ability to continuously track the production and stock of such equipment. The U.S. initiative aims to gather intelligence to uncover details of Iran's nuclear program, its facilities, equipment, and personnel.
