The United States has offered a $20 million reward for information about Iran's nuclear program, ASHARQ AL-AWSAT English reports. The offer was announced on Saturday, November 7, 2026, according to the outlet.
Coverage of the announcement varied. The News Pakistan described the reward as a bounty on intelligence about an Iranian nuclear program it called "obliterated." ABC News & Headlines, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's feed, put the figure at $29 million. ASHARQ AL-AWSAT English reported $20 million.
Outlook India linked the move to diplomacy, reporting that the bounty was posted as Qatar pushes for a deal. The same outlet reported the reward as $20 million.
The announcement comes alongside reported US military action. The Times of Israel reported that President Trump said the US launched what he called "minor" strikes on Iran, targeting what he described as "a little bit of an anti-aircraft device."
The reporting available does not specify what information the reward seeks, how it would be submitted, or whether it is tied to the reported strikes. Those details were not included in the summaries reviewed.
What to watch next: whether Washington clarifies the terms of the reward, and whether Qatar's mediation produces talks between the US and Iran.
