TAMPA, November 6, 2026 — US Central Command said Rewards for Justice is offering up to 20 million dollars and possible relocation for information about Iran’s nuclear programme, amplifying a State Department bounty aimed at facilities, equipment and personnel.
In a post on X late on November 6 (US time), CENTCOM wrote that the programme seeks information “about Iran’s nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above.” A graphic accompanied the message.
Rewards for Justice is a US State Department programme that pays for tips that help disrupt terrorism and related threats. Its public page on Iran’s nuclear programme matches the CENTCOM wording, offering up to 20 million dollars and possible relocation for credible information on facilities, equipment, associated personnel and related movements.
Iran International reported on November 6 that the programme had advertised the reward on X and said the US government “remains committed to countering any attempt by Iran to develop a nuclear weapons program,” urging people with information to submit tips. The accompanying graphic sought information on nuclear scientists and staff, nuclear-related technologies and capabilities, and associated organisations and personnel.
According to the Rewards for Justice site, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported in 2025 that Iran was enriching uranium to 60% purity — described there as a short technical step from weapons-grade material — and that Iran was the only non-nuclear-weapon state producing uranium at that enrichment level. The site also said Iran’s lack of compliance with IAEA safeguards had led to a loss of “continuity of knowledge” over key components such as centrifuges.
Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons and has long rejected Western accusations about its programme. Hardline Iranian figures have also criticised talks with Washington, arguing diplomacy has failed to prevent military strikes, according to regional reporting contemporaneous with the reward announcement.
CENTCOM’s role in the message is amplification: the underlying offer is a State Department Rewards for Justice notice, not a new CENTCOM combat operation. Tips are typically submitted through Rewards for Justice channels rather than military social-media accounts. The command’s public echo nonetheless underlines how nuclear proliferation remains a priority across diplomatic and military messaging.
Whether the public reward yields actionable intelligence will depend on sources inside or near Iran’s nuclear complex — a high-risk environment for informants, which is why relocation assistance is advertised alongside the cash offer. Past Rewards for Justice cases have sometimes produced breakthroughs years after a notice is posted.
US Central Command, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, oversees American military operations across the Middle East and surrounding regions. Public messaging from the command often mirrors wider administration priorities on Iran, even when the legal instrument — here a State Department reward — sits outside the military chain of command.
