United States Offers $10M Reward for Info on Mojtaba Khamenei

The United States Department of State has announced a reward of USD 10 million for information leading to the whereabouts of Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, along with several other senior Iranian officials. 

The announcement on Friday comes amid escalating regional tensions following coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel on Iranian military facilities. The strikes were followed by retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the Middle East on February 28.

The reward has been



issued under the State Department’s Rewards for Justice initiative, which offers financial incentives for information that helps locate or bring to justice individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism targeting the United States. 

Apart from Mojtaba Khamenei, the updated list also includes Iran’s interior minister and the minister of intelligence and security. In a social media post, the programme stated, “Got information on these Iranian terrorist leaders? Send us a tip. It could make you eligible for a reward and relocation.”
