  "account": "The United States is offering a $20 million reward, along with possible relocation, for information regarding Iran's nuclear program, according to a military statement released on Friday. This offer is made through the Rewards for Justice program of the State Department, despite President Donald Trump's persistent claims that Iran's nuclear capabilities have been entirely destroyed. The program seeks information about Iran's nuclear facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as scientists, US Central Command announced on X.\n\nThe announcement comes amidst persistent international concerns about Iran's nuclear activities. In 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iran had enriched uranium to 60% purity, a level only a short technical step away from 90% purity, which is necessary for a nuclear weapon. Earlier that year, the US and Israel carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025, targeting key sites involved in the country's nuclear endeavors. Following these operations, Trump claimed that the sites had been \"completely and totally obliterated.\" However, subsequent evaluations suggested that Iran had merely degraded its program rather than completely dismantling it.\n\nOn February 28, 2026, the US and Israel launched a more extensive military campaign against Iran, aiming to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. The initial phase of the operation resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, leading to a broader conflict. The ensuing war disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and caused a spike in oil prices.",
