US Offers $15M Reward to Target Iran Drone Funding Network
The U.S. government is offering a big cash prize, up to $15 million, for anyone who can give information that helps stop money from going to a company that makes drones for Iran’s military.
The company is called Kimia Part Sivan Company, or KIPAS, and it is linked to Iran’s special forces.
The U.S. wants to find out how KIPAS gets its money and who is helping it.
People who know about the company’s money or the people who work there can send tips through a special online line.
If they help, they could get the money and help move to a safer place if needed.
