US puts $10M bounty on Iranian leaders after military campaign, says 'send us a tip'
WASHINGTON, DC: The US State Department’s Rewards for Justice program announced a massive bounty on Friday, March 13, offering up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and other top regime figures.
The reward specifically targeted ten "key leaders" of the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a group the US maintains plans and instils fear globally.

In a direct appeal on social media, the program urged anyone with details on these individuals to come forward.
"Send us a tip," the announcement stated, noting that informants could become eligible for both a substantial financial reward and permanent relocation.
The move marked a significant escalation in the administration's efforts to dismantle the IRGC’s command structure during the ongoing conflict.
Anonymous titles reportedly highlight intelligence gaps
The most striking aspect of the "Wanted" list is that the State Department appears not to know the identities of several high-ranking targets. Out of the ten IRGC leaders listed, four are identified only by their official titles, with no names or photographs provided.
The anonymous figures include the secretary of the defense council, the adviser to the supreme leader, the military office chief of the supreme leader’s office, and the IRGC commander.
By listing these roles without names, the US is reportedly signaling a critical need for internal intelligence to unmask the individuals currently directing Iran's military and security operations.
Mojtaba Khamenei among figures listed in reward notice
The Rewards for Justice bulletin emphasizes that the named and unnamed targets direct various elements of the IRGC.
Known individuals on the list alongside Mojtaba Khamenei include Ali Asghar Hejazi, Ali Larijani, Brig Gen Eskandar Momeni, Esmail Khatib, and Maj Gen Yahya Rahim Safavi.
The US maintains that these leaders are responsible for organizing and executing radical activities around the world.
Tips are being accepted through Tor-based tiplines and encrypted messaging apps like Signal to ensure the safety of potential informants seeking to collect on the $10 million bounty.
