The US State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme is offering up to $20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear programme and may help relocate people who provide information. It seeks details about facilities, equipment and people involved, including scientists, as well as information about their movements. US Central Command shared the notice on Friday, November 6.
Rewards for Justice was established in 1984 to obtain information that helps protect American lives and US national security interests. The notice said Iran’s failure to meet its safeguards obligations left the International Atomic Energy Agency unable to maintain continuous knowledge of Iran’s production and stockpiles of key components, such as centrifuges.
Speaking separately to reporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, that Friday, US President Donald Trump defended US strikes on Iran. He claimed Israel would not exist today without them. He also claimed that if Iran had nuclear weapons, it would have used them and devastated the Middle East. By: Rithy
