America offers reward up to $10 million

The US State Department has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the arrest of Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei and several other senior Iranian officials.

The announcement was made by the US State Department on Friday under its Rewards for Justice program, which offers financial incentives for information that helps identify or bring to justice individuals suspected of engaging in terrorism against the United States.

Awards and Transfer Assistance

Under the program, individuals providing credible intelligence may qualify for monetary rewards and relocation assistance.

In a social media post, Rewards for Justice urged people with information about the listed Iranian leaders to come forward, saying tips could make them eligible not only for a reward but also for rehabilitation assistance.

Apart from Khamenei, the updated list also includes senior Iranian officials such as the country’s interior minister and intelligence and security ministers.

Trump warned that Washington could deploy more military forces against Iran if instability in the region continues to threaten global oil flows.

Israel also carried out strikes in Beirut and claimed that the operation killed senior members of Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah. The attacks signal a sharp escalation of hostilities across West Asia. Coordinated US-Israeli attacks on Iranian military facilities triggered retaliatory missile and drone strikes across the region on 28 February. Now the clash has been pushed to the second week.
