The United States has announced a $10 million bounty for information on Mojtaba Khamenei, along with several other senior Iranian officials, accusing them of planning and executing acts of terrorism worldwide. This move marks a significant escalation in Washington’s efforts to hold Iran’s top leadership accountable for alleged global threats.
According to the US State Department, the reward is part of its “Rewards for Justice” program, which targets high-ranking Iranian figures linked to international terror operations. The list also includes key leaders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Authorities are urging individuals with credible information to come forward.
Iran condemned the announcement, calling it “an act of hostility and interference in its internal affairs”. Iranian officials emphasized that such measures would not deter Tehran from pursuing its national security objectives and regional policies.
Experts say the move is likely to further strain US–Iran relations and could complicate ongoing diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. Analysts also note that the targeting of top leadership figures increases the risk of retaliation, potentially escalating tensions in the region.
The announcement has drawn attention from international media and governments worldwide, highlighting the ongoing geopolitical complexities between Washington and Tehran amid broader Middle East conflicts.
