The U.S Department of State has announced $10 million reward for information on Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and several high ranking officials linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC).
The officials, including Iran’s interim Minister Eskandar Momeni and Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatab, are accused of commanding units of IRGC involved in planning and carrying out terrorist activities globally.
The announcement added these figures to the Rewards for Justice program, whose offers financial incentives and, in some cases, relocation assistance to individuals who provide credible information that aids authorities in locating or prosecuting suspects connected to terrorism.
The U.S State Department encouraged anyone with relevant intelligence to submit tips through secure channels, such as massaging apps signal.
Mojotaba Khamenei, 56, became Iran’s top leader following the death of his father, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a bombing on Febuary 28, 2026.
Reports indicated he was injured during the attack and has not appeared publicly since assuming office.
The Reward for Justice programme has been used for years to help U.S authorities track and prosecute individuals accused of terrorism and related offenses.
