The State Department is offering a $10 million reward for information on Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and several senior officials linked to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Officials said the reward, part of the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, is an effort to gather intelligence on the IRGC and its leadership, which Washington accuses of orchestrating attacks on Americans and supporting terrorism.
The reward targets Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with a number of key figures within Iran’s ruling security apparatus.
The ministry said it is also seeking information on Ali Asghar Hejazi, deputy chief of staff of the Office of the Supreme Leader, and Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

The program also names several senior figures linked to Iran’s security and intelligence structure, including Yahya Rahim Safavi, a top military adviser to the supreme leader, Esmail Khatib, Iran’s intelligence minister, and Eskandar Momeni, the country’s interior minister.
“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), part of Iran’s official military, plays a central role in Iran’s use of terrorism as a key tool of Iranian statecraft,” the State Department said.
“Additionally, the IRGC has created, supported, and directed other terrorist groups. The IRGC is responsible for numerous attacks targeting Americans and U.S. facilities, including those that have killed U.S. citizens,” the department added.

The agency said that since its founding after the 1979 Iranian revolution, the IRGC has also expanded its influence far beyond military operations and become deeply entrenched in the country’s political and economic system.
“Since its founding in 1979, the IRGC has assumed a substantial role in the implementation of Iran’s foreign policy,” the department said. “The group now controls large parts of Iran’s economy and is influential in Iranian domestic politics.”
