The US has directly carried out major military strikes on primary Iranian nuclear facilities during the ongoing conflict.

Overview

  • The State Department's Rewards for Justice program posted an offer for up to $20 million and possible relocation for tips about Iran’s nuclear facilities, equipment, personnel and related movements.
  • The notice, publicized by U.S. Central Command on X on Nov. 6, gave submission channels but did not specify what information would qualify for the maximum $20 million reward.
  • The offer cites the IAEA’s reported loss of 'continuity of knowledge' over production and inventories, including centrifuges, after reduced access and monitoring.
  • President Trump said U.S. strikes have severely degraded Iran’s program and also reiterated that Tehran wants a deal, while U.S. forces have continued limited strikes as diplomacy proceeds.
  • Rewards for Justice has paid for intelligence since 1984, and this move could push inside sources to come forward, raise questions about informant protection and relocation, and affect the pace of ongoing talks.
