The U.S. State Department announced a reward of up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear program. The Rewards for Justice program posted the offer on social media Friday, seeking details about facilities, equipment, associated personnel such as scientists, and related organizations.

The announcement highlighted Iran's lack of compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, which has resulted in the loss of continuity of knowledge regarding centrifuge production and inventory. It noted Iran's enrichment of uranium to 60 percent purity, a level close to weapons-grade.

Rewards for Justice, a program established in 1984 to protect American interests, also offered possible relocation to informants. Tips can be submitted via encrypted channels including Signal, Telegram, and Tor browser.

The move comes amid ongoing tensions following U.S. and Israeli strikes last year. President Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran's key nuclear facilities were completely destroyed in those operations. Despite those claims, the reward signals continued U.S. efforts to gather intelligence on any remaining capabilities.

CENTCOM shared the announcement on X, emphasizing the program's focus on countering threats. Iran has faced economic pressure from a U.S. naval blockade that has blocked billions in oil exports.

Speculation about potential renewed military action has grown since the midterm elections, though Trump indicated no immediate rush toward further strikes. The reward program previously offered smaller bounties for information on Iranian officials.
