The U.S. State Department has announced a substantial reward, totaling $10 million, for any information leading to the capture or arrest of Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and several high-ranking officials associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

This reward initiative is part of the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, which aims to gather crucial intelligence on the IRGC and its leadership. The U.S. government accuses the IRGC of orchestrating attacks against American interests and supporting terrorist activities.

The focus of the reward includes Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with other prominent figures within Iran’s security framework.

In addition to Mojtaba Khamenei, the State Department is seeking information on Ali Asghar Hejazi, who serves as the deputy chief of staff for the Supreme Leader’s Office, and Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

The program also targets several senior figures within Iran’s security and intelligence network, including Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior military adviser to the supreme leader, Esmail Khatib, Iran’s intelligence minister, and Eskandar Momeni, the nation’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.

“In addition, 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 the IRGC has also expanded its influence far beyond military operations since its founding after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, becoming deeply embedded in the country’s political and economic system.

“Since its founding in 1979, the IRGC has gained a substantial role in executing Iran’s foreign policy,” the department said. “The group now wields control over vast segments of Iran’s economy and is influential in Iranian domestic politics.”
