WASHINGTON – The United States government has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information on key Iranian military and intelligence figures. This includes Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
The US State Department confirmed that the bounty targets ten individuals connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). These figures are believed to play central roles in directing Iran’s military and intelligence operations abroad.
Mojtaba Khamenei became Iran’s supreme leader following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei. The elder Khamenei and several senior officials were reportedly killed in coordinated strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces starting on February 28.
The list of wanted officials also includes Iran’s security chief, Ali Larijani; Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib; Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni; and two associates from the office of the supreme leader. The State Department emphasized that these individuals oversee the IRGC’s global operations, which include planning and executing acts of terrorism.
Recent developments show some of these officials active in public. Viral footage captured Larijani attending a rally in Tehran with President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. This appearance contrasts with claims by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who suggested Iran’s ruling figures were “cowering” in hiding.
The US government is urging anyone with credible information on these individuals to come forward. The State Department hopes that the reward will help prevent future threats linked to Iran’s military and intelligence operations.
