US offers reward of up to $20 million, possible relocation for information on Iran nuclear program

The United States has announced a reward of up to $20 million, possibly including relocation, for information related to Iran's nuclear program, according to a statement from the Rewards for Justice program. The Rewards for Justice (RFJ), dedicated to gathering intelligence on terrorism and foreign operations against the US, has now offered a substantial incentive for insights into Iran's nuclear activities.

These tips can be submitted through Signal, Telegram, or Tor Browser in multiple languages. Since its establishment in 1984, RFJ has disbursed over $250 million to over 125 individuals who have provided valuable information, thereby protecting US national security. To safeguard the safety of its sources, RFJ maintains strict confidentiality and may offer relocation for a source and their family, depending on the individual case.

Currently, the RFJ offers rewards ranging from less than $1 million to up to $25 million for information on various threats, including terrorism, foreign election interference, malicious cyber activities, and financial mechanisms of North Korea. On the same day, the US State Department also announced new sanctions against Iran. The US and Canada imposed sanctions on eight digital asset service providers that assist the Iranian regime in utilizing digital assets to evade sanctions and fund terrorism.

These sanctions effectively sever the firms' ties to the dollar-based financial system, preventing any assets they may hold in the United States from being accessed and prohibiting any transactions with US persons or entities. According to Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, the Treasury is determined to pursue and disrupt the Iranian regime's financial channels worldwide.
