US places $10m reward for information on Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei

The United States Department of State has announced a $10 million reward for information about Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and several other senior Iranian officials.

Among those listed are Eskandar Momeni and Esmail Khatib, who were included among 10 individuals named by the department.
 

“These individuals command and direct various elements of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which plans, organizes and executes terrorism around the world,” the State Department said.

It urged anyone with relevant information to submit tips through secure channels such as Tor or Signal, adding that informants could qualify for relocation and a financial reward.
 

The bounty is being offered under the State Department’s Rewards for Justice initiative, which provides cash payments for intelligence leading to the capture or prosecution of wanted individuals.

Mojtaba Khamenei’s father, Ali Khamenei, was killed in a bombing on February 28 at the start of the war between the United States, Israel and Iran.
