14/05/2026

WASHINGTON, May 14: The U.S. government has announced a reward of up to $15 million for information on financial networks linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), targeting individuals connected to drone production and supply operations.

The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice program said the initiative focuses on individuals associated with Kimia Part Sivan Company (KIPAS), described as the drone-production arm of the IRGC Qods Force. The department said the network is allegedly involved in the development, testing, and distribution of drones used to support IRGC activities.

According to the statement, the IRGC finances parts of its overseas operations through the sale of drones and other military equipment. The advisory named several individuals linked to the network and urged the public to provide information on their activities, associates, and financial operations.

The program said tips can be submitted through secure channels, including a Tor-based platform, and noted that eligible informants may qualify for financial rewards and relocation assistance.
