U.S. State Department offers up to $21.5 million bounty for company linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard

The U.S. State Department named seven senior figures linked to KIPAS, a drone production network tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Quds Force.

Washington said KIPAS tested drones, provided technical support for the Quds Force, sourced parts abroad, and supplied drones to militias across the Middle East.

The U.S. is offering up to $15 million for tips that expose the group’s financial network.

The move signals a tougher U.S. effort to disrupt Iran’s drone procurement and operations network, as well as its funding channels.
