Overview
- The State Department offered up to $10 million for information on Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and nine senior figures tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- The notice names Ali Larijani, Esmail Khatib, Eskandar Momeni, Ali Asghar Hejazi and Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, with four additional IRGC posts listed without names, including the corps commander and the defense council secretary.
- Tipsters are asked to use a Tor‑based tipline or Signal, and credible information could qualify for relocation as well as payment.
- Washington says the targeted officials direct elements of the IRGC that plan and execute terrorism worldwide, noting the group’s U.S. terrorist designation.
- Mojtaba has not appeared publicly since succeeding his father killed on Feb. 28; U.S. officials say he was wounded, a claim Iran disputes, as Reuters‑verified video showed Larijani at a Tehran rally.
