State Dept. offers $20 million reward for information about Iran’s nuke program 

The Trump administration is offering as much as $20 million for information about Iran’s nuclear program.

The reward is being provided through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program.

According to an announcement posted on X, US officials are seeking details about Iranian “nuclear scientists and staff,” technologies and capabilities linked to the nuclear program, as well as related organizations and personnel.

“If you have information on Iran’s nuclear program, assets, or associated individuals, send it to us,” Rewards for Justice said in its appeal to the public.

Those who want to share intelligence with the US government can use a tip line accessible through the encrypted Tor browser or contact officials through the secure Signal and Telegram messaging platforms.

In what appears to be an effort to encourage Iranian sources to come forward, the program is also offering “possible relocation” to people who provide useful information.

The reward notice cited a 2025 report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which said Iran was enriching uranium to 60% purity—near the level generally associated with the production of a nuclear weapon.

Rewards for Justice said Iran’s failure to meet its safeguards obligations had resulted in the IAEA losing “continuity of knowledge” about the country’s production and stockpiles of critical components, including centrifuges.

US Central Command, which is responsible for military operations involving Iran, also promoted the reward across its social media accounts.

In March, the Trump administration used the same program to offer $10 million for information leading to 10 senior figures within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the US government designates as a terrorist organization.

The new offer comes as President Trump considers his next step in the escalating confrontation with Tehran.

“I would rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but maybe I’ll have to. You’ll know soon enough,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday.

A US official told The Post that Qatari officials have been helping mediate renewed talks with Tehran over its nuclear activities.

The New York Times first reported that at least three meetings focused on “concrete proposals” had taken place during the previous week, including discussions in Tehran and Doha.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that Iran was nearing the ability to build a nuclear weapon and has argued that the regime could use such a weapon against countries in the Middle East, including Israel.

The president has also described the eight-month war as a success, saying US airstrikes have severely damaged Iran’s navy, missile and drone facilities, and nuclear sites.
