US State Department Rewards for Justice Program Offers Up to $20 Million for Intelligence on Iran's Nuclear Activities

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on November 6, 2026, that the State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering rewards of up to $20 million, along with possible relocation, for credible information about Iran's nuclear program. This includes details on facilities, equipment, associated personnel such as nuclear scientists, and movements of any of the above.[1][2] The announcement cites Iran's lack of compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards obligations, which has resulted in the loss of 'continuity of knowledge' regarding production and inventory of key components like centrifuges. Iran has been reported enriching uranium to 60% purity, a level close to weapons-grade.[3] President Trump has repeatedly stated that U.S. and Israeli strikes have 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear program, while diplomatic efforts involving mediators like Qatar continue amid the ongoing conflict.[4] The program accepts tips via secure channels including Signal, Telegram, and Tor. This development occurs against a backdrop of shifting U.S. objectives and questions about the current state of Iran's nuclear infrastructure post-strikes. Historical precedents include past rewards programs for WMD-related intelligence, though outcomes have varied significantly.
