The Trump administration is offering the public up to $20 million in exchange for information about Iran's nuclear program, through the State Department's Rewards for Justice program. U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, shared the offer on social media late Friday.
The United States is seeking information about Iranian "nuclear scientists and staff," "nuclear program-related technologies and capabilities" and "associated organizations and personnel," according to the announcement, which was posted on X. "If you have information on Iran's nuclear program, assets, or associated individuals, send it to us," Rewards for Justice asked the public.
People wishing to provide information can send it via an encrypted Tor browser tip line or use the secure Signal or Telegram messaging apps. In an apparent effort to encourage Iranians to share what they know, Rewards for Justice is also offering "possible relocation" as another incentive.
The bounty page notes that the International Atomic Energy Agency reported in 2025 that Iran was enriching uranium to 60 percent purity, close to the level necessary for a nuclear weapon. "The regime's lack of compliance with the IAEA on safeguards obligations has led to the agency's loss of continuity of knowledge regarding Iran's production and inventory of key components like centrifuges," Rewards for Justice said.
The administration previously used the program in March to offer $10 million for information about 10 key leaders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the U.S. government labels a terrorist group. The latest reward was offered as President Trump weighs his next move against Iran. "I would rather not destroy the rest of the country if possible, but maybe I'll have to. You'll know soon enough," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. The U.S. bombed several Iranian nuclear facilities in the summer of 2025.
