Iran offers $30,000 for killing or capturing US soldiers, double if done by women
This comes amid continued tensions between Iran and the US in West Asia, with the two occasionally trading strikes on each other's interests in the region.
Iranian military officials have announced a substantial bounty for the killing or capturing of US soldiers, with the reward set at $30,000 or 5 billion tomans. This incentive is doubled for those who carry out the act while being a woman. This announcement comes as tensions remain high between Iran and the US in the West Asian region, with both nations occasionally engaging in military strikes against each other's interests.
The ongoing war began on February 28, following the US-led attack on Iran, which included Tehran and various other locations. The conflict has had a significant impact on global oil and gas prices, as Iran has imposed a blockade on shipping in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iran's military chief, Amir Hatami, revealed that the bounty was established following numerous requests for financial support.
No US ground forces have been deployed in Iran during the war, with the sole exception being a rescue mission for a downed American pilot in April.
