Washington is seeking information about nuclear facilities, equipment, scientists, and others involved in Iran’s program.
The US State Department announced a reward of up to $20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear program. The relevant information was published on the US government website.
The reward is offered under the government’s Rewards for Justice program. To make contact, one can use the encrypted messenger Signal or the program’s secure channel. In addition to monetary rewards, informants can be helped to relocate to another country if needed.
The State Department explains the need to collect information by citing the lack of reliable data on the current state of Iran’s nuclear program.
In 2025, the IAEA reported that Iran was enriching uranium to 60%. This far exceeds the level needed for most civilian purposes and approaches roughly 90% — the level required to make nuclear weapons.
Experts estimate that Iran’s existing uranium stocks, after further enrichment, could potentially be enough for several nuclear warheads.
At the same time, the US program seeks not only information about nuclear facilities but also data on the movement of equipment and personnel related to Iran’s nuclear activities.
After the initial US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites last year, the Islamic Republic almost completely ceased cooperation with the IAEA.
The agency does not have access to more than 400 kg of uranium near weapons-grade enrichment. Iran’s ambassador to the IAEA, Reza Najafi, said inspections are impossible due to ongoing military operations.
The IAEA has previously stated that there is currently no confirmation that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, while the question of the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program remains unresolved.
Remember, Iran reportedly boasted in talks that it has enough enriched uranium to make 11 nuclear bombs. Iran’s “confession” occurred during the first round of talks earlier this year. This was stated by Trump’s special representative Steve Witkoff on Fox News.
Meanwhile, the White House said the US wants to finally put an end to Iran’s nuclear program and eliminate the threat to US national security.
