  "account": "The United States is offering a $20 million reward \"and possible relocation\" for information about Iran’s nuclear program, according to a military statement released on Friday. Despite President Donald Trump's repeated claims that Iran's nuclear program has been obliterated, the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program is urging anyone with information to submit a tip through its website to claim the reward. The program seeks details on Iran’s nuclear facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community. This announcement follows international concerns over Iran’s nuclear activities, as the International Atomic Energy Agency reported in 2025 that Iran had enriched uranium to 60 per cent purity, a level only a short technical step away from the 90 per cent required for a nuclear weapon. Following strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities by the US and Israel in June 2025, Trump had claimed the sites were \"completely and totally obliterated.\" However, assessments after that operation suggested the program had merely been degraded. On 28 February 2026, a larger military campaign by the US and Israel ensued, claiming the aim was to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. The operation resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and escalated into a wider conflict after Iran retaliated. The war disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and led to a surge in oil prices.",
