The US State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran's nuclear program, US Central Command said on X on November 6, 2026. The offer covers information on Iran's nuclear facilities, equipment and associated personnel, including people in the scientific community.
The State Department said Iran's lack of compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards obligations had led the agency to lose "continuity of knowledge" regarding Iran's production and inventory of key components such as centrifuges. The department gave no specific parameters on what information would qualify for the $20 million.
Rewards for Justice was established in 1984 under the State Department's national security rewards program, which offers money for information that protects American lives and interests.
President Donald Trump said on November 6 in West Palm Beach, Florida that US forces had effectively destroyed Iran's nuclear program. "If we didn't hit Iran, you wouldn't have Israel today," he said. He also said Iran, whose economy and military he said had been severely damaged over eight months of war, wants to end the conflict. "We're dealing with them now. They want to make a deal very badly," Trump said.
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said on November 3 that his government was still trying to resolve the crisis through dialogue. Trump said earlier in the week that he still had to "take care" of one or two targets, including a site in central Iran known as Pickaxe Mountain, which Tehran denies is a nuclear facility.
