Iran offers $30,000 bounty for killing, capturing US soldiers; $60,000 if done by women

Iranian Army chief Amir Hatami has declared a $30,000 reward for individuals who kill or capture a US soldier, with the incentive increased to $60,000 for Iranian women who carry out such an act. This announcement follows the recent ceasefire between Iran and the United States, during which sporadic skirmishes have continued to occur, particularly around southern Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite no known US ground troops being stationed in Iran during the conflict, Hatami emphasized that the country still demands the withdrawal of US forces from the region. The reward offer is intended to encourage participation in the fight against US military personnel, as evidenced by the 17 US military deaths that have occurred outside Iranian territory since the beginning of the conflict.
