Iranian Army Chief Amir Hatami announces $30,000 reward for killed, captured US soldiers - report

The reward will reportedly be granted to any Iranian soldier from "the Iranian people."

The Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief, Amir Hatami, has announced a $30,000 reward for any Iranian soldier who kills or captures a US service member, according to a report by IRIB. This reward is intended to encourage public participation in what is being called a "financial jihad." Hatami stated that every person who successfully captures or kills an American aggressor force will receive the reward, which is equivalent to $30,000 or 5 billion Tomans.

Additionally, zealous Iranian women who achieve this feat will receive double the reward. The weapon of the person who succeeds in killing an American aggressor will be purchased at double its value and will be displayed in a planned museum. Hatami also criticized the United States for its claims of military power, noting that the war with Iran has weakened America's hegemony.

He criticized US President Donald Trump for his statements regarding the Strait of Hormuz, calling him a "loser" and threatening to expel American bases from the region.
