US Offers Rewards for Info on Ex-Agent Monica Witt and Iranian Drone Officials
The FBI has announced a reward of up to $200,000 for information leading to the arrest of Monica Witt, a former U.S. counterintelligence agent accused of espionage. Witt, who fled to Iran in 2013, is charged with transferring classified national defense information, including the identities of covert operatives, to the Iranian government. In a separate initiative, the U.S. Department of State offered rewards of up to $15 million for information on six individuals associated with 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 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Additionally, the State Department previously announced 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 counter Iranian intelligence operations and military capabilities through financial incentives for actionable intelligence.
