The Biden administration has announced a reward of up to $20 million for information leading to the arrest of Shahram Poursafi, an officer in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Poursafi is charged with attempting to arrange the assassination of former U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, who served under President Donald Trump. The State Department publicized the reward on Thursday, highlighting the high interest in apprehending Poursafi. The plot is alleged to be a transnational murder-for-hire scheme orchestrated by Poursafi, a uniformed member of the IRGC, which is designated as both a military and terrorist organization.
