The offer targets 10 officials associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a powerful military force created after the Iranian Revolution and tasked with safeguarding Iran’s clerical political system. The State Department said the individuals command or direct elements of the IRGC that it accuses of planning and executing attacks abroad.

Mojtaba Khamenei assumed Iran’s highest political and religious office after his father, Ali Khamenei, was killed along with several senior Iranian officials in joint U.S. and Israeli strikes that began on Feb. 28.

The younger Khamenei is believed to have been wounded in the attacks and has not appeared publicly since the start of the conflict, though he issued his first statement on Thursday.

In addition to the supreme leader, the reward notice seeks information about Iran’s national security chief Ali Larijani, Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib, Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and two officials from Khamenei’s office.

Larijani appeared on Friday in video footage verified by Reuters alongside Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi during a rally in Tehran.

The appearance came despite comments by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggesting that Iran’s leadership was hiding underground amid ongoing military strikes.

The State Department website also lists four additional officials connected to the IRGC, including the corps’ commander and the secretary of Iran’s defense council, though their names and images were not provided.

Washington has designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization and accuses it of orchestrating attacks that have killed U.S. citizens. U.S. officials have also alleged that Iran planned assassination attempts against U.S. President Donald Trump and other American officials in retaliation for the killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in 2020.

Iran denies supporting terrorism and has repeatedly rejected U.S. accusations as politically motivated efforts to justify sanctions and pressure campaigns.Officials from the Revolutionary Guards were not immediately available for comment on Friday, Iran’s weekly day of rest.

Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Speaking by phone with The Times of Israel, Trump said Netanyahu would have a role in determining how and when the conflict with Iran concludes, underscoring the close strategic alignment between the two leaders during the crisis.

Trump told the Israeli outlet that ending the war would be a “mutual” decision between Washington and Jerusalem, suggesting that Israel’s leadership would be directly involved in shaping the final stages of the conflict.

His comments signal that U.S. policy toward the war remains closely tied to consultations with Israel, a key regional ally, as military and diplomatic considerations evolve.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East as the United States and Israel confront Iran. Trump’s statement highlights the extent of coordination between the two governments as they weigh military objectives and potential diplomatic pathways to ending the hostilities.

Neither the White House nor Netanyahu’s office immediately provided additional details on the conditions that might determine the timing of a ceasefire or broader settlement.

In a 2–1 decision, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit declined to pause a February 2 order that barred the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from ending Haiti’s TPS designation while legal challenges proceed.TPS is a humanitarian program that allows eligible migrants from countries facing armed conflict, natural disasters or other extraordinary conditions to live and work legally in the United States without fear of deportation.

The ruling upheld an earlier decision by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, who found that the government’s move to terminate protections for Haitians likely violated established TPS procedures and the equal protection guarantee under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.Circuit Judges Florence Pan and Brad Garcia said Haitians forced to return could face severe dangers in their home country, describing conditions as marked by a “collapsing rule of law” and widespread insecurity. The judges also noted concerns about limited access to essential medical care.

The Department of Homeland Security under outgoing Secretary Kristi Noem has sought to end TPS designations for several countries as part of Trump’s broader immigration enforcement policies. Officials have argued that the program was never intended to function as a long-term legal status and risked becoming a “de facto amnesty.”Government lawyers told the appeals court that the U.S. Supreme Court had previously permitted the administration to terminate TPS for Venezuelan migrants, arguing the precedent justified allowing the Haiti policy change to proceed.But the appellate panel said the circumstances differed significantly, concluding that the potential humanitarian consequences for Haitian migrants warranted maintaining the lower court’s injunction while the case continues.
