US Places $10 Million Reward for Information on Iran’s New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and Top Officials

The US State Department has offered a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture or prosecution of Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and other top officials. The list includes Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and Minister of Intelligence and Security Esmail Khatib, among 10 individuals named.

The State Department stated that “these individuals command and direct various elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which plans, organizes and executes terrorism around the world.” The reward is part of the “Rewards for Justice” program, with tipsters encouraged to send information via encrypted channels and potentially qualify for relocation. Mojtaba Khamenei assumed leadership after his father Ali Khamenei was killed in a US-Israeli bombing on February 28, which marked the start of the current conflict.
