The State Department suggested that individuals who provide the information could be eligible to move to the United States.
The State Department announced on March 13 a reward of up to $10 million and potential relocation to the United States for information on Iran’s new supreme leader and nine other top officials of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Among those listed are Mojtaba Khamenei, son and successor of the slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as well as Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, and Ali Asghar Hejazi, deputy chief of staff in the Supreme Leader’s Office.
The United States also seeks information on Iranian Interior Minister Brig. Gen. Eskandar Momeni, Intelligence and Security Minister Esmail Khatib, and Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, the senior military adviser to the Iranian supreme leader, according to the State Department.
Four other Iranian officials were included on the list but were not named. These individuals were identified only by their roles as secretary of Iran’s Defense Council, advisor to the supreme leader, military office chief, and IRGC commander.
“These individuals command and direct various elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), which plans, organizes, and executes terrorism around the world,” the State Department said on a graphic via its X account, Rewards for Justice.
The State Department also suggested that individuals who provide the information could be eligible to move to the United States.
“If you have information on these or other key IRGC leaders or its component branches, send it to us via our Tor-based tipline or Signal. Your information could make you eligible for relocation and a reward,” it stated.
According to the State Department, the IRGC is a part of Iran’s official military that serves a central role in the Iranian regime’s use of terrorism as a tool of statecraft.
The United States designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization in 2019, alleging it was responsible for numerous attacks against U.S. citizens and facilities.
Washington said the IRGC has taken on a major role in executing Iran’s foreign policy since its establishment in 1979 and now “wields control over vast segments of Iran’s economy and is influential in Iranian domestic politics.”
