United States offers 20 million dollar reward regarding Iranian nuclear program

The United States is offering a reward of up to 20 million dollars for information on the nuclear program in Iran, according to reports by Fox News and the South China Morning Post. The offer was announced on social media by the State Department's Rewards for Justice program, while the South China Morning Post and Yahoo noted that the military, including United States Central Command, also cited the initiative.

Fox News reported that the State Department is seeking information on nuclear scientists, support staff, associated personnel, organizations, capabilities, and nuclear program technologies. The South China Morning Post stated that the offer includes information on facilities and equipment, and specified that tipsters could receive possible relocation alongside the financial payout. The State Department stated on social media platform X that tips can be submitted through Signal or a Tor-based tip line, according to Fox News. [1][2]

The announcement comes as United States President Donald Trump insisted that Iranian officials want to make a deal to end eight months of war, the South China Morning Post reported. As FTMQ News reported earlier, Vice President JD Vance recently contacted Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei to propose resuming peace negotiations, which President Trump confirmed he authorized.

The Rewards for Justice Program is an interagency national security initiative managed by the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, designed to gather intelligence on international threats. It typically offers financial incentives for information that helps locate terrorist leaders or identify financial networks supporting designated foreign groups. [8]
