US Offers Rewards for Iranian Drone Makers and Fugitive Spy Monica Witt

The United States has announced significant financial rewards for information leading to the arrest of individuals linked to Iran's military and intelligence operations. The FBI is offering up to $200,000 for information on Monica Witt, a former U.S. counterintelligence agent accused of fleeing to Iran in 2013 and transferring classified national defense information to the Iranian government. Witt, who had access to top-secret data including the identities of covert operatives, is charged with espionage that allegedly endangered U.S. troops. Separately, the U.S. Department of State announced rewards of up to $15 million for information on six employees of Kimia Part Sevan (KIPAS), a company 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, a $10 million reward was offered for information on Hashem Finian Rahim al-Siraji, leader of the Iran-affiliated armed group Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada. These announcements highlight ongoing U.S. efforts to counter Iranian influence and hold accountable those accused of betraying national security or supporting militant activities.
