The United States government has announced a reward of up to $20 million for information concerning Iran’s nuclear programme, including its facilities, equipment, personnel and the movement of nuclear-related materials.

The announcement was made by the US military’s Central Command on Friday, with the reward being administered through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme. Informants may also be offered possible relocation.

The US State Department is particularly seeking information about individuals involved in Iran’s nuclear activities, including scientists and other members of its scientific community.

The development comes amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which began in February 2026. President Donald Trump has repeatedly maintained that Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.

According to the State Department, information from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) indicates that Iran possesses uranium enriched to 60 per cent purity, approaching the 90 per cent enrichment level generally required for weapons-grade material.

The department described Iran as the only non-nuclear-weapon state to have produced uranium at such a high enrichment level, adding that experts believe the stockpile could potentially produce several nuclear weapons if further enriched.

Iran suspended IAEA inspections following US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities in June 2025. The State Department said the suspension has affected the agency’s ability to monitor Iran’s nuclear materials and related activities.
