U.S. Offers $10 Million Reward for Iranian Officials' Info

On Friday, the U.S. Department of State announced a $10 million reward for information regarding several Iranian officials, including the newly appointed Supreme Leader, following the death of Ali Khamenei on March 8.

The reward is part of the State Department's Rewards for Justice program, which seeks information on individuals described as Iranian terrorist leaders. The list includes Esmail Khatib, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Supreme Leader, Ali Asghar Hejazi, Senior Military Advisor, Yahya Rahim Safavi, Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, and Ali Larijani, the current Secretary of Iran's Supreme Council.

The announcement comes amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, particularly following leadership changes in Tehran. The new Supreme Leader has vowed to continue retaliatory actions against adversaries, warning that the conflict will persist until justice for Iranian casualties is achieved.

The U.S. has encouraged individuals with credible information to submit tips via encrypted messaging platforms.
