Washington, March 14
The U.S. Department of State has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information about Mojtaba Khamenei, who is widely reported to have emerged as Iran’s new Supreme Leader. The announcement was made under the Rewards for Justice Program, which offers financial incentives for information on individuals linked to security threats. According to officials, the reward is aimed at gathering credible information about the activities and networks associated with Mojtaba Khamenei and other senior figures connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The United States has long designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization and accuses it of supporting militant activities across the Middle East. The US government also indicated that individuals who provide valuable information may receive relocation assistance to ensure their safety. The move comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran following recent geopolitical developments in the region. Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has increasingly gained influence within Iran’s political and security establishment. Analysts say the US reward announcement reflects growing concerns in Washington about Tehran’s leadership and its regional policies. The development is expected to further strain already tense relations between Washington and Tehran as both countries remain at odds over regional security and nuclear policy.
