US Offers $20 Million Reward for Information on Iran's Nuclear Program
The US has offered a $20 million reward for details on Iran's nuclear program amid indirect talks. Meanwhile, military readiness remains high following a recent strike in the Strait of Hormuz.
The United States has offered a reward of up to $20 million alongside potential relocation assistance for actionable information regarding Iran’s nuclear program, according to an announcement by the U.S. Central Command. The initiative, operated through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, targets details on nuclear facilities, equipment, infrastructure, and personnel, including members of the scientific community.
The announcement coincides with indirect diplomatic contacts between Washington and Tehran aimed at reviving negotiations over Iran’s nuclear dossier. According to regional sources, U.S. Vice President JD Vance has been actively engaged behind the scenes over the past two weeks, holding near-daily consultations with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir, and other mediators. White House envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner are also participating in the diplomatic push.
Despite the diplomatic engagement, military pressure remains high. U.S. Central Command recently conducted a strike targeting a cruise missile launcher on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz after the launcher fired a projectile at an American fighter jet. President Donald Trump confirmed the operation to reporters, stating that while the administration is currently testing diplomatic pathways, the U.S. military remains fully prepared to resume strikes if negotiations fail.
