US offers $10 million reward for five Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders

On August 25, 2026, the U.S. Department of State's "Rewards for Justice" program announced a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of five senior officials from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The U.S. government accuses these individuals of planning and executing global terrorist activities.

The individuals named in the announcement are Ahmad Vahidi, Ali Abdollahi, Saeed Aghajani, Hamidreza Lashgarian, and Majid Khademi. The State Department noted that informants may be eligible for financial compensation and potential relocation. However, reports from local sources highlight that the inclusion of Majid Khademi is notable, as he was previously reported killed in an airstrike in Tehran on April 6, 2026.

The program continues to seek actionable intelligence on these targets to disrupt alleged IRGC operations. While the U.S. remains committed to this search, the status of these individuals varies, as the Iranian military has recently undergone internal leadership shifts, including the appointment of Ali Abdollahi to lead Iran's conventional armed forces earlier in August.
