Piers Morgan gives blunt response to $20m US reward for intel on Iran's nuclear program

Broadcaster Piers Morgan has offered a blunt response to a massive reward offered by the US Department of State in exchange for information on Iran's nuclear program. The Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $20 million for information about the nuclear program . It is looking for information on the program's facilities, equipment and associated personnel. Possible relocation is also on the cards. "In 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran is enriching uranium to 60 percent purity, a level that is a short technical step from the 90 percent required for a nuclear weapon," the statement read.

"Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce uranium at such a high enrichment level. Experts estimate this quantity, if enriched further, could be enough for several nuclear weapons ." The life-changing amount of money has been advertised to civilians. Iran's nuclear program has long been a focal point of the US and President Donald Trump . He has repeated claimed that the country's potential for nuclear weapons as the reason for the US war on Iran.

The US and Israel carried out joint strikes on several key Iranian sites at the end of February. Iran retaliated by closing the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of all global oil passed prior to the war. The fallout has been catastrophic: global oil markets were sent into turmoil, air travel across the region was thrown into chaos and thousands of lives have been lost. The US Central Command shared about the reward in a post on X, which was met with intense backlash.

Piers Morgan commented a blunt message: "WTF????" One X user shared Mr Morgan's sentiment: "Hahah they don't even know the location of Iran's nuclear program. This is so embarrassing." Another X user commented: "So you have started a war to "dismantle" a nuclear program you know nothing about?? Because it doesn't exist." While a third said: "Looks like Iran did a good job ridding itself of your agents. Now you're resorting to begging online."

Another commented: "I thought they destroyed it like 4 times already lol'.
