Mojtaba Khamenei: U.S. offers $10 million bounty for Iranian leaders, military chiefs
The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) programme has offered a reward of $10 million and relocation to the United States to anyone who can provide information on newly selected Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and other top regime officials.
The State Department announced the reward in a statement on X with a poster containing photos of the Iranian officials wanted.
“Got information on these Iranian terrorist leaders? Send us a tip. It could make you eligible for a reward and relocation,” the State Department said.
The poster containing photos of the Iranian leaders the U.S. is seeking information about reads: “These individuals command and direct various elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which plans, organises, and executes terrorism around the world.”
It added, “If you have information on these or other key IRGC leaders or its component branches, send it to us via our Tor-based tipline or Signal.”
The listed officials the U.S. is seeking information on include Iran’s Minister of Intelligence Esmail Khatib, Deputy Chief of Staff Ali Asghar Hejazi, and Major-General Yahya Rahim Safavi.
Others are Brigadier General Eskandar Momeni and Secretary to the Supreme Council Ali Larijani.
Mr Khamenei emerged following the assassination of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the U.S.-Israel Operation Epic Fury attack on February 28.
Before the junior Khamenei was selected, American President Donald Trump had rejected him, vowing that whoever emerges as Iranian leader without his approval would not last.
