The United States on Friday said it was offering up to $10 million, and the potential opportunity to relocate, for information on the whereabouts of 10 senior Islamic Republic leaders.<\/p>\n
The U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice program\u00a0announced the reward on Friday\u00a0for information on Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei<\/span> and nine other “key leaders” in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.<\/p>\n Khamenei, who issued his first public statement on Thursday, is “wounded and likely disfigured,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday<\/span>. A missile strike<\/span>\u00a0killed Iranian Supreme Leader\u00a0Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/span>\u00a0and other senior Iranian officials when the war started.<\/p>\n In addition to the supreme leader, the lists includes Deputy Chief of Staff Ali Asghar Hejazi, Military Adviser Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, Interior Minister Brig. Gen. Eskandar Momeni, Minister of Intelligence and Security Esmail Khatib, and Ali Larijani, who is secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.<\/p>\n “These individuals command and direct various elements of the IRGC, which plans, organizes, and executes terrorism around the world,” the State Department said in a news release announcing the reward.<\/p>\n Four leaders on the list are identified only by title, with no listed names. They are the secretary of the defense council, adviser to the supreme leader, military officer chief of the supreme leader’s office, and the IRGC commander.<\/p>\n “Got information on these Iranian terrorist leaders?” the program asks in a post on social media. “Send us a tip. It could make you eligible for a reward and relocation.”<\/p>\n
