The US State Department has announced a reward of up to $3 million for information leading to the identification or location of individuals responsible for attacks on US diplomatic facilities in Iraq.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the official statement was posted on the department's website. The initiative aims to bolster security for American personnel and infrastructure following a series of security breaches in the region.
“We are offering a reward of up to $3 million for information regarding attacks on American diplomatic facilities in Iraq. If you have relevant information, please contact us,” the official statement reads. The department emphasized that the US embassy in Baghdad and the consulate in Erbil have been recurring targets of such provocations.
The reward program is part of a broader strategy by the administration of US President Donald Trump to ensure the safety of diplomatic missions abroad. By incentivizing the reporting of credible intelligence, the State Department seeks not only to investigate past incidents but also to proactively prevent future threats against American interests in the Middle East. This move comes amid heightened regional tensions and a continued commitment to stabilizing security cooperation between Washington and Baghdad.
