The U.S. State Department said Iran’s failure to meet its obligations to the International Atomic Energy Agency has left the agency without adequate knowledge of key components of Tehran’s nuclear programme, including centrifuges.

November 7: Trump administration is offering a reward of up to $20 million, along with possible relocation assistance, to individuals providing information about Iran’s nuclear programme, as the U.S. State Department continues to assess Tehran’s nuclear capabilities amid the ongoing conflict.
US Central Command announced on Friday that the State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme was seeking information about Iranian nuclear facilities, equipment and personnel, including members of the country’s scientific community.
The programme is offering up to $20 million for information that could help identify key elements of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. It may also provide relocation assistance to informants.
Established in 1984, the Rewards for Justice programme offers financial incentives for information that helps protect US citizens and national security interests.
In its statement, the State Department said Iran’s failure to meet its safeguards obligations to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had resulted in the agency losing what it described as “continuity of knowledge” about Iran’s production and stockpiles of critical components, including centrifuges.
Officials did not specify what information would qualify for the maximum reward.

The announcement came as President Donald Trump renewed his claim that US military strikes had effectively destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities and that Tehran was seeking an agreement to end the conflict.
Speaking in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday night, Trump said the U.S. strikes had prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, arguing that Tehran would have used them against Israel and other countries in the region.
“If we didn’t hit Iran, you wouldn’t have Israel today,” he said. “If they had nuclear, they would have used nuclear. They would have obliterated the Middle East.”
Trump also said Iran’s economy and military had suffered severe damage during the eight months of conflict and that its leadership was eager to negotiate an end to the fighting.
“We’re dealing with them now. They want to make a deal very badly,” he said.
Diplomatic efforts by mediators are continuing to prevent a resumption of hostilities. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said earlier this week that his government remained committed to resolving the crisis through dialogue with U.S. government.
Trump had also indicated that the U.S. still had one or two targets to address, including the so-called Pickaxe Mountain site in central Iran. The location is suspected by Washington of being linked to nuclear activity, an allegation Tehran has denied.
