Iran Announces $30,000 Bounty for Killing or Capturing US Soldiers, Double for Women
Iran's military announced a bounty of $30,000 for killing or capturing US soldiers, doubling the reward if carried out by women, according to Army chief Amir Hatami. The offer follows numerous requests from citizens to support military efforts. Hatami did not specify where or when such actions might occur. There has been no known deployment of US ground forces in Iran during the conflict, except for a rescue mission in April. The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, including sporadic exchanges of fire and stalled peace talks.
