The State Department’s Rewards for Justice program is offering up to $20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear program, according to a post on X on Friday. Fox News reports that tips may be sent through Signal or a Tor-based tip line, and CNN and Raw Story report that relocation may be offered to informants. The program seeks information on nuclear scientists and staff, nuclear program-related technologies and capabilities, and associated organizations and personnel. CNN and Raw Story note that the offer comes as President Donald Trump has repeatedly said U.S. strikes obliterated Iran’s nuclear sites, and Raw Story reports that critics mocked the post online.

    Left headlines set the reward against Trump’s claim that strikes obliterated Iran’s nuclear program, while the Far Left Raw Story headline focuses on a reaction to the post.

    Right headlines report the reward as a plain State Department offer with no mention of Trump’s obliteration claims, and the Far Right Fox News headline matches the mainstream New York Post.
