US issues $10m reward for information on Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei

The US Department of State’s Rewards for Justice programme has called for information on “Iranian terrorist leaders”, including Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“These individuals command and direct various elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which plans, organises and executes terrorism around the world,” the poster, shared on X, states.

The reward is capped at $10 million and could make people eligible for “relocation”. 

Officials whom the US is seeking information on include Minister of Intelligence Esmail Khatib; deputy chief of staff Ali Asghar Hejazi; Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi; Brigadier General Eskandar Momeni; and Secretary to the Supreme Council Ali Larijani. 

Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen since his election to the position on Sunday, and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in a press conference at the Pentagon, claimed that Iran's new supreme leader is "wounded" and "likely disfigured".
