Tehran (Terror Monitor) — Iran’s military announced Sunday that it will offer a reward equivalent to $30,000 for killing or capturing U.S. military personnel, with the amount doubled if the action is carried out by an Iranian woman.
According to Iran’s official IRNA news agency, Iranian Army Chief Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami said the initiative was developed following a large number of requests to financially support such actions.
Hatami said anyone who kills or captures an “attacking American military personnel” and hands them over to the Iranian military will receive a reward of $30,000, or the equivalent of 5 billion tomans.
He added that Iranian women who carry out such an action would receive double the reward.
Hatami did not specify where or when such operations were expected to take place.
No major deployment of U.S. ground forces in Iran has been reported during the conflict, although a U.S. mission was carried out in April to rescue an American pilot.
The conflict between Iran and the United States began on February 28, when the U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iran. Fighting continued for around 40 days before a ceasefire was reached in April. A framework for peace negotiations was later agreed in June but subsequently collapsed.
Since then, Iran and the United States have continued to exchange attacks intermittently, with much of the fighting concentrated in southern Iran and around the Strait of Hormuz.
