India Today
Washington said people who provide credible tips about senior Iranian officials and IRGC networks could qualify for relocation assistance, as the Rewards for Justice program urged the public to submit information through secure channels.
The US State Department has offered up to $10 million for information on Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and other senior officials, publishing a public appeal through its Rewards for Justice programme.
The department shared a banner on X calling for information on what it described as “Iranian terrorist leaders,” including Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The poster said the reward could reach $10 million and added that people who provide credible information may also become eligible for relocation assistance.
“These individuals command and direct various elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which plans, organises and executes terrorism around the world,” the banner stated.
