US Offers Rewards for Former Agent Monica Witt and Iranian Drone Officials
The FBI has announced a $200,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Monica Witt, a former U.S. counterintelligence agent accused of espionage. Witt, who served in the U.S. Air Force and as a government contractor, fled to Iran in 2013 and is charged with transferring classified national defense information to the Iranian government. The indictment alleges she endangered U.S. troops and assisted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in targeting American personnel. In a separate announcement, the U.S. Department of State offered rewards of up to $15 million for information on six individuals linked to Kimia Part Sevan (KIPAS), identified as the drone production arm of the IRGC's Quds Force. These individuals are accused of developing and supplying drones used by the IRGC. Additionally, the State Department reiterated a $10 million reward for information on Hashem Finian Rahim al-Siraji, leader of the Iran-affiliated militia Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada. These announcements highlight ongoing U.S. efforts to combat espionage and disrupt Iranian military capabilities through financial incentives for actionable intelligence.
