The United States has offered a reward of up to $20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear programme, raising questions over President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the country’s nuclear facilities were completely destroyed by American strikes.

The US Central Command announced the offer on Friday, saying the State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme was offering up to $20 million, alongside possible relocation, for credible information about Iran’s nuclear programme.

The offer covers information about nuclear facilities, equipment and personnel associated with the programme, including members of Iran’s scientific community.

In a statement posted on X, the military urged individuals with relevant information to submit tips through the Rewards for Justice website.

The development has drawn attention because Trump had repeatedly claimed that US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025 had completely and totally obliterated the country's nuclear infrastructure.

However, subsequent assessments indicated that the strikes had significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear programme rather than completely eliminating it.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had reported in 2025 that Iran was enriching uranium to 60 per cent purity, a level considerably higher than that required for civilian nuclear energy, although below the approximately 90 per cent generally associated with weapons-grade uranium.

The US and Israel launched another major military campaign against Iran on February 28, 2026, saying the operation was intended to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The conflict resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, during its opening phase and escalated after Tehran launched retaliatory attacks.

The war also disrupted shipping activities in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, with wider implications for global energy markets.

The latest $20 million reward offer has therefore renewed attention on the extent of the damage inflicted on Iran’s nuclear programme and the availability of intelligence about its remaining facilities and personnel.
