US offers $20 million reward for tips on Iran's nuclear activities

The US is offering up to $20 million and possible relocation for any Iranian who shares helpful information about Iran's nuclear activities.

The Central Command announced this offer on Friday in a statement shared on X. They are looking for information about Iran's nuclear sites, equipment, and personnel.

The reward comes through the State Department's Rewards for Justice program, which focuses on national security.

"Rewards for Justice (RFJ), a program aimed at collecting information on terrorism and foreign operations against the US, has made a new offer for details on facilities, equipment, and personnel related to Iran's nuclear program," the statement said.

This announcement comes even though former US President Donald Trump often claimed that Iran's nuclear sites had been destroyed. Mr Trump first made this claim in June 2025 after the US attacked Iran's nuclear facilities. The attack focused on Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan sites.

Mr Trump told the nation that the main enrichment sites had been "completely and totally obliterated." But PREMIUM TIMES reported that a leaked preliminary Pentagon review found that the strikes only sealed the entrances to two facilities without collapsing the underground structures. Much of the enriched uranium had been moved beforehand.

Despite this, the former president repeated his claim many times after another strike on February 28, which led to an 8-month conflict. In an interview in March, he stated that Iran's capabilities were "totally obliterated."

Last month, he also insisted that the US Central Command had destroyed Iran's nuclear program and said the war would end 'very soon.' He added, "If they had nuclear power, they would have used nuclear power. They would have obliterated the Middle East."

According to CENTCOM, Iran's failure to comply with the International Atomic Energy Agency has caused the agency to lose track of Iran's production and inventory of important components like centrifuges.

They also noted, "Iran's uranium stockpile is believed to include uranium enriched to 60 percent purity, a level that is a short technical step from the 90 percent needed to produce nuclear weapons."

"Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state producing uranium at such a high enrichment level. Experts believe this amount, if enriched further, could be enough for several nuclear weapons," the statement said.

Meanwhile, Trump confirmed that the US conducted "minor strikes" in Iran. He said, "We do minor strikes. They built a little bit of an anti-aircraft device, and we knocked it out in about 15 minutes, maybe 5," while speaking to reporters.

Iranian media have reported on missiles hitting Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has also claimed to have shot down some US drones in recent weeks.
