Overview
- The State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, which announced the offer Monday, is seeking tips to identify, locate, or capture Haydar al-Sa’idi.
- Al-Sa’idi is the secretary general of Harakat Ansar Allah al-Awfiya, an Iraq-based Shia militia that U.S. officials say receives support from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods Force.
- U.S. assessments link the group to drone and rocket attacks on American and coalition sites in Iraq and Syria, including the January 2024 strike on Jordan’s Tower 22 that killed three U.S. service members.
- Washington previously designated al-Sa’idi and the militia as terrorists, naming them Specially Designated Global Terrorists in June 2024 and listing the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in September 2025.
- Tips can be submitted through secure, confidential channels, and rewards may be paid in part or in full based on the value of the information.
