Iran Offers $30,000 Bounty for Killing or Capturing US Soldiers
Iran’s army chief said the bounty is funded by the Iranian people and would double if carried out by a woman.
- On Aug 16, Iranian Commander-in-chief Major General Amir Hatami announced a $30,000 bounty for capturing or killing American military personnel amid intensifying Iran-US tensions.
- The war between Tehran and Washington began on Feb 28 after the US, joined by Israel, attacked Iran; fighting has since centered in southern Iran and around the Strait of Hormuz.
- Army chief Amir Hatami said the bounty equals five billion tomans and doubles if carried out by a "Courageous Iranian" woman, following "the large number of requests" for financial support.
- In a reciprocal move, the Islamic Republic declared the American Army a terrorist organization, mirroring the Rewards for Justice program offering up to $10 billion for information.
- Despite the rhetoric, no known deployment of American ground forces exists in Iran, except for an April rescue mission for a downed pilot during the nearly 40 days of fighting.
