State Department Offers 15 Million Dollar Rewards for Justice Bounty on Behjoul Pars IRGC Procurement and Laundering Network

BLUFExpanding the bounty from BJP executives to mid-level procurement and finance officers signals Washington is shifting from symbolic designations toward operational disruption of IRGC missile-supply chains.

The State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering up to $15 million for information on Beh Joule Pars (BJP), an Iranian conglomerate accused of operating front companies that procure sensitive materials, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, and MEMS components, for Iran's missile program 1. BJP has laundered funds for the IRGC and Iran's Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics for over a decade, moving millions of dollars through the U.S. financial system, and the notice offers possible relocation to the United States for informants 1. The National reported that the State Department widened the reward on Thursday, adding BJP technical manager Behrooz Derakhshandeh and procurement officer Sara Nemati to a bounty first offered last October for BJP and its Esfahan branch co-chair Mahdi Abbas Nili Ahmadabadi and Tehran branch co-chair Mahdi Mohammad Farshchi 2. State Department spokesperson Elizabeth Stickney announced the expanded reward in a video statement urging anyone with information to submit tips via Signal or Tor, Shabtab News/Iranwire reported 3.

Analysis
The expanded reward, now naming BJP technical manager Derakhshandeh and procurement officer Nemati alongside the October-designated executives, shifts sanctions pressure from corporate leadership to operational staff, publicizing their roles and complicating cover inside the front-company network. The move functions less as a discrete enforcement action than as a collection instrument, dangling $15 million to solicit insider detail on IRGC-linked laundering channels. It may serve primarily as a deterrence signal rather than reflect a fresh investigative lead, since the notice largely restates the original designation with two names appended. Sourcing rests on a single primary account, the Rewards for Justice notice itself, with other outlets amplifying rather than corroborating, and the network's operations remain unchanged pending any informant response.
