Iran Offers Bounty for American Soldiers

The Iranian military has announced a bounty equivalent to $30,000 for the killing or capture of American soldiers. The reward is notably doubled if the action is performed by a woman, as stated by the Iranian army chief, Amir Hatami.

Hatami declared that the bounty, amounting to 5 billion Iranian rials, is a direct result of "a large number of inquiries" from individuals eager to provide financial support to the Iranian military. He specified that the individual who kills or captures and hands over U.S. military personnel will receive the reward.

The one who kills or captures and hands over American military personnel will receive a reward equivalent to $30,000, or 5 billion toman (Iranian rial) from the Iranian army.

Details regarding the location or timing for these expected killings or captures were not provided by the army chief. The article notes that there is no indication of U.S. ground forces being stationed in Iran during the recent conflict, apart from a rescue operation for a downed U.S. pilot in April.

The conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran began on February 28, with the U.S. and Israel launching attacks on Iran. A ceasefire was established in April after approximately 40 days of fighting, followed by a framework for peace talks in June that ultimately collapsed shortly after. Sporadic attacks between the nations have occurred since then, primarily in southern Iran and around the Strait of Hormuz.

Brave Iranian women who carry out such an act will receive double the bounty.
