War in Iran: Washington offers $20 million for information on Tehran's nuclear program

It's a tempting offer but oh so risky. A $20 million reward “and possible relocation” is being offered to anyone who provides the US military with information on Iran's nuclear program. The American military command for the Middle East (Centcom), behind the announcement published Friday on X, is seeking information on “its installations, equipment and associated personnel”.

Since the start of the war in February, triggered by American-Israeli strikes, Donald Trump has repeated that he does not want to “let Iran have nuclear weapons”. During the night from Friday to Saturday, the American president told journalists that he had “neutralized their nuclear capabilities”, before adding: “We still have to take care of, I would say, one or two sites”.

A method identical to that of the CIA

Donald Trump made particular reference to Mount Kolang, called “Pickaxe Mountain” in English. American intelligence services suspect this mountain of housing an underground nuclear complex. Tehran, which has always denied wanting to acquire atomic weapons, defends its right to civilian nuclear power. Qatari-mediated negotiations to end the conflict continue despite recent US strikes on the island of Qeshm, in the Strait of Hormuz.
