The United States is offering US$20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran’s nuclear program, including facilities, equipment and associated personnel. The offer was made through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, established in 1984 to pay for information protecting American lives and U.S. interests. The State Department said Iran’s lack of compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards obligations had caused the agency to lose continuity of knowledge about key components, including centrifuges, but did not specify what information would qualify for the full reward. Iran’s army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said on Nov. 7 that the country’s armed forces were stronger and more confident after direct confrontation with the United States and Israel. He said Tehran retained control of the Strait of Hormuz and would keep it closed until Washington met its demands. The waterway normally carries about one-fifth of global oil consumption. Diplomatic efforts to prevent renewed fighting are continuing, with President Donald Trump discussing the conflict with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Nov. 6 and President Masoud Pezeshkian saying Iran was pursuing dialogue. Trump said U.S. forces had effectively destroyed Iran’s nuclear program and that Tehran wanted a deal, while Iran reported explosions on Qeshm Island and said its air defenses had destroyed a U.S. drone. The existing account also identified Pickaxe Mountain, a suspected nuclear site in central Iran that Tehran denies is a nuclear facility, as among one or two remaining targets requiring action.
