The U.S. is offering up to $20 million to anyone with information on Iran’s nuclear program. "If you have information on Iran’s nuclear program, assets, or associated individuals, send it to us via Signal or our Tor-based tip line. You may be eligible for a reward and relocation," the U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice program said in an announcement posted to X. The State Department said it was seeking information on "nuclear scientists and staff, nuclear program-related technologies, and capabilities, associated organizations and personnel."

EXPERTS ‘DEEPLY’ CONCERNED OVER IRAN’S WORK AT UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR SITE "The U.S. government remains committed to countering any attempt by Iran to develop a nuclear weapons program," the agency added. The announcement comes as President Donald Trump considers renewed military strikes against Iran .

What we found (1)

Fox News reports the State Department's $20 million reward for information on Iran's nuclear programme and sets it beside Trump's deliberations over renewed strikes. It attributes its claims carefully, including the State Department's language about a weapons programme. Every voice in the piece is American, though, and Iran's government appears only as a target and a negotiating party, never with its own account.

  1. One side gets the space

    Minor

    “while Washington and Tehran continue negotiations over the country's nuclear program”

    Why this matters
    The words "Washington and Tehran continue negotiations" name Iran as one of two parties to the talks. Yet the article quotes only the State Department, Trump and unnamed US officials, and Iran never speaks.
    The impression it gives
    A reader hears only the US side of the talks and of the threat to resume strikes. Trump's words "I would rather not destroy the rest of the country" stand with no Iranian reply.
    The context
    Same-day coverage reported Iran's position. Iran's president said his government was still pursuing dialogue, and Tehran denies that Pickaxe Mountain, a site Trump has threatened, is a nuclear facility. The article gives neither.

What it gets right

  • “"The U.S. government remains committed to countering any attempt by Iran to develop a nuclear weapons program," the agency added.”

    The article keeps the suggestion of a weapons programme inside the State Department's own words and attributes it. It does not state it as fact in the outlet's voice.

  • “a condition favorable for military operations, senior U.S. officials told Fox News.”

    The article attributes the timing claim about possible strikes to its sources rather than asserting it.

  • “according to reports citing a U.S. official”

    The claim about Central Command's preparations is clearly sourced and qualified.
