US Offers $20 Million for Information on Iran’s Nuclear Programme

The US government is offering a reward of up to US$20 million for information about Iran’s nuclear programme through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme.

“Rewards of up to US$20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear programme. Rewards for Justice is seeking information on nuclear scientists and staff, technology and capabilities related to the programme, as well as the organisations and personnel involved,” the US State Department said in a statement on X on Friday.

Iran has previously said it would not discuss its nuclear programme until the conflict with the US ends, the naval blockade is lifted and a number of other conditions are met.

The conflict between Iran and the US began when the US and Israel launched attacks on targets in Iran on 28 February. Iran subsequently retaliated with attacks against its adversaries.

Although the conflict has now eased, the dispute between the two sides remains unresolved and there is still a risk that fighting could resume.
