The United States government has announced a reward of up to $10 million for actionable information on ten senior Iranian military and intelligence figures, including Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. The offer was formally published on the U.S. State Department's website and targets individuals connected to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Mojtaba Khamenei assumed the role of Supreme Leader following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed alongside several top Iranian officials during joint U.S. and Israeli military strikes launched on February 28. The younger Khamenei is believed to have sustained injuries in the attacks and has not made any public appearances, though he issued his first official statement on Thursday.
Among the other individuals named in the reward listing are security chief Ali Larijani, Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, and two officials from Khamenei's inner circle. Four additional IRGC figures — including the corps' commander and the secretary of the defense council — are also listed, though their names and photos have been withheld. Despite U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's claim that Iranian leadership was hiding underground, Larijani was spotted on Friday in verified footage attending a rally in Tehran alongside President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
The State Department stated that these officials direct IRGC operations responsible for terrorism worldwide. The U.S. has previously designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization, holding it accountable for attacks resulting in American casualties, as well as alleged assassination plots against U.S. officials including President Donald Trump.
Iran continues to reject terrorism accusations, with officials consistently dismissing such claims as politically motivated efforts to justify sanctions and pressure campaigns against the country.
