US offers $20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear program
The US Rewards for Justice program is offering up to $20 million, plus possible relocation, for information on Iran’s nuclear facilities, equipment and associated personnel. The move signals that Washington still lacks—or seeks more—visibility into a program it has claimed was destroyed.

Context from the sources
The Rewards for Justice program was established in 1984 as a national-security rewards program intended to obtain information that protects US lives and interests. [1]
The cited reporting says the International Atomic Energy Agency previously reported Iran enriching uranium to 60% purity, described as a short technical step from the 90% level associated with weapons-grade uranium. That background does not establish Iran’s present enrichment activity. [2]
