The US State Department is offering hefty rewards for information on six individuals it says are involved in the drone-production wing of Iran’s IRGC Quds Force, identified as the Kimia Part Sivan Company (KIPAS), Al Jazeera reports.

The individuals, the State Department says, “are involved in KIPAS’s testing, development and supply of drones”.

A post by the State Department’s national security rewards programme said people who submit tips about individuals, their associates, or financial networks may be eligible for an award of up to $15m.

“Help us put a dent in the IRGC’s revenue stream,” the post states.
