According to the US Department of State, the monetary incentive is provided under the existing 'Rewards for Justice' program. Payments and assistance in relocating outside of Iran are offered to those who provide information on nuclear facilities, their locations, equipment, possible movements of facilities, or personnel involved in the program.
Tehran's Reaction and Current Uranium Situation
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reacted to Washington's initiative by sending letters to the UN Secretary-General, the UN Security Council, and the IAEA Director General. In the documents, the Iranian diplomat demanded a clear assessment and condemnation of the US State Department's actions.
The necessity of such measures by the US is linked to data from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In 2025, the agency recorded that Iran is enriching uranium to a level of 60% purity.
According to IAEA information, Iran remains the only state without nuclear weapons that produces uranium with such a high degree of enrichment. According to expert estimates, the accumulated volume of the substance could be sufficient to create several nuclear weapons units if the enrichment process continues.
"Iran remains the only state without nuclear weapons that produces uranium with such a high degree of enrichment."
