US offers $20 million reward for info on Iran’s nuclear programme

The US is offering up to $20 million, with possible relocation, for information about Iran’s nuclear programme. The offer comes as President Donald Trump said Tehran wants a deal to end the war, and reflects US efforts to gather intelligence on Iran’s nuclear facilities and activities.

The State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme is seeking information about facilities, equipment, personnel, including scientists, and their movements. The department cited Iran’s lack of compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, which it said has left the agency without continuity of knowledge about Iran’s production and stock of key components such as centrifuges. It did not specify what information would qualify for the full reward.
