U.S. offers up to $20 million for tips on Iran's nuclear program as Trump confirms "minor strikes"
U.S. Central Command said Friday that the State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering up to $20 million and "possible relocation" for information about Iran's nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment and personnel. The State Department says that without Iran's compliance with IAEA safeguards, the agency has lost "continuity of knowledge" about Iran's centrifuges. The same day, President Trump confirmed what he called "minor strikes" on Iran, saying U.S. forces knocked out an Iranian anti-aircraft site; Iranian state media reported two explosions in the Suza area of Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's army said its air defenses destroyed an American drone over Qeshm. A U.S. security alert urged Americans in the Middle East to be on heightened alert.
