Trump offers $20m reward for Iran nuclear secrets despite claims programme was obliterated

The US military, US Central Command, and the State Department's Rewards for Justice program have announced a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for credible information regarding Iran's nuclear program. According to the Jerusalem Post, the program is seeking intelligence on facilities, equipment, and personnel connected to the program, and may offer resettlement for informants and their families on a case-by-case basis.

The Daily Post Nigeria reports that this offer of remuneration contradicts previous claims by President Donald Trump and his administration that Iran's nuclear facilities had been obliterated. A White House release from June 25, 2025, stated that precision strikes had caused "monumental damage" to all nuclear sites in Iran, asserting that "obliteration is an accurate term."

In other developments, the Egypt Independent reports that Iranian hardliners are demanding a "new world order" following Republican losses in US midterm elections. While President Trump acknowledged the war in Iran contributed to those losses, Vice President JD Vance stated in an X post that "the reason we lost is the war." Additionally, the Jerusalem Post noted that the US and Canada issued new sanctions against eight digital asset service providers helping the Iranian regime evade sanctions.
