WASHINGTON, United States: The IRGC offers rewards of up to USD 10 million for information identifying or locating five senior Iranian commanders, the US State Department said Monday, August 24.
The State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme announced the offer on X, naming IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi and Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters chief Ali Abdollahi.
The programme also listed IRGC Aerospace Force UAV commander Sa’id Aghajani. IRGC Cyber-Electronic Command chief Hamidreza Zolasgharian and Intelligence Office commander Majid Khademi also appeared on the list.
Rewards for Justice accused the five officials of directing elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps involved in operations the United States classifies as terrorism.

The programme said people who provide actionable information may also qualify for relocation assistance.
Washington designated the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation in 2019. US officials have since accused the force and its branches of supporting armed groups and threatening American personnel and infrastructure.
