Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 7 Nov, 11:51 · Archive

The US State Department is offering up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear program, facilities and associated personnel.

The US State Department's Rewards for Justice program announced it is offering up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear program. The reward targets details on 'nuclear scientists and staff', 'nuclear program-related technologies and capabilities' and 'associated organizations and personnel'. Those with information can submit it via encrypted messaging apps Signal or Telegram, or through a Tor-based tip line. Possible relocation is also being offered as an incentive.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in 2025 that Iran is enriching uranium to 60 per cent purity, which experts say is close to the 90 per cent level required for a nuclear weapon. The State Department said 'the regime's lack of compliance with the IAEA on safeguards obligations has led to the agency's loss of continuity of knowledge regarding Iran's production and inventory of key components like centrifuges'.

The announcement was shared by US Central Command on social media. The Trump administration previously used the Rewards for Justice program in March to offer $10 million for information about leaders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

President Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran will not be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon. On Friday at the Kennedy Space Center, Trump said US forces had 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities, adding 'if we didn't go in with those beautiful B2 bombers a little more than a year ago... there would be no Israel'. Trump indicated he is considering renewed military strikes against Iran.

Tehran's nuclear programme has been central to negotiations over ending the Iran war, which began in late February following US and Israeli strikes. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed his government was continuing efforts to resolve the conflict through dialogue. The Mirror reports that broadcaster Piers Morgan responded to the reward announcement with scepticism on social media.
