Washington (Web Desk): The US has offered a $10 million reward for information on Iran’s leaders, including Mojtaba Khamenei, and several other senior officials.

The US State Department said it is offering up to $10 million to anyone who provides useful information about these individuals.

Officials said the information could help authorities track activities linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

According to the State Department, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and Minister of Intelligence and Security Esmail Khatib are also included on the list.

In total, ten individuals connected with Iran’s leadership and security structure have been named.

The US government claims these officials command and direct different units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“These individuals command and direct various elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which plans, organizes, and executes terrorism around the world,” the State Department said.

Authorities urged people with information to contact them through secure communication channels.

Officials said tipsters can share information using encrypted platforms such as Tor or Signal.

They added that people providing credible information may become eligible for relocation and financial rewards.

The offer is part of the US State Department’s well-known “Rewards for Justice” program.

This program provides financial rewards for information that helps authorities capture or prosecute individuals linked to terrorism or national security threats.

The announcement comes during a period of rising tensions between the United States and Iran.

Mojtaba Khamenei became Iran’s new Supreme Leader after the death of his father, Ali Khamenei.

Ali Khamenei was reportedly killed in a bombing earlier during the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. The situation has further increased tensions in the Middle East and drawn international attention.
