An unusual $15 million reward program aims to get more information about the financing for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the U.S. has designated a terrorist group
The United States will pay people up to $15 million for information that disrupts the finances of an elite Iranian military force, the Trump administration announced Wednesday.
Hook insisted that despite greenlighting such punitive moves, Trump still wants to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the standoff with Tehran. Trump “believes very much in bilateral diplomacy,” Hook said. Separately on Wednesday, the Treasury Department unveiled new economic sanctions on Iran. The sanctions target an Iranian petroleum shipping network directed by the Quds Force, a special unit of the Guard.
In retaliation, Iranian officials have taken a few steps to back away from the 2015 deal and appear more inclined to pull out of the deal altogether.
