U.S. offers $20 million reward for information on Iran nuclear program

The U.S. government announced it is offering up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran's nuclear program, according to ktul.com and other sources citing the State Department's Rewards for Justice program.

The program targets information on Iran's nuclear facilities, equipment, and associated individuals and organizations, including scientists across the Middle East and North Africa, as reported by abc6onyourside.com and bakersfieldnow.com.

This announcement comes amid ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran, with diplomatic efforts mediated by Qatar to resolve disputes over Tehran's nuclear activities, according to the sources.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in 2025 that Iran was enriching uranium to 60% purity, a technical step short of the 90% required for weapons-grade uranium, and noted a loss of "continuity of knowledge" about Iran's nuclear components due to noncompliance, as stated in the Rewards for Justice notice.

The U.S. continues to seek information to monitor and address concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities, with the reward intended to encourage disclosures that could aid these efforts.
