Who are Iran’s new leaders? A look at 6 the US placed a bounty on – 2 of whom are already dead

The Trump administration announced a US$10 million reward on March 15, 2026, for information leading to the capture of several senior Iranian figures. This follows the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a U.S.-Israeli strike in February 2026. His son, Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, was chosen as the new Supreme Leader in early March. The bounty targets six individuals: Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, Seyyed Ali-Asghar Hejazi, Seyyed Esmail Khatib (killed March 18), Ali Larijani (assassinated March 17), Brig. Gen. Eskandar Momeni, and Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi. The region is currently experiencing significant unrest, with reports of 7,000 to 30,000 Iranians killed in domestic crackdowns in early 2026.
