Iran announces $30,000 bounty for capturing or killing U.S. soldiers

Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Amir Hatami has announced a $30,000 bounty for any Iranian citizen who kills or captures a U.S. soldier. The reward is set to double to $60,000 if the act is carried out by a woman. Hatami stated the initiative follows numerous requests from citizens wishing to contribute to the conflict. Additionally, the Iranian military pledged to purchase weapons used in such operations at double their market value for display in a museum.

The announcement coincides with the expiration of a 60-day memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in June, which aimed to establish a ceasefire and address nuclear and economic issues. Both nations have accused each other of violating the agreement, leading to a diplomatic stalemate. While Donald Trump confirmed an unofficial communication channel with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for peace talks, he also ruled out extending the interim agreement and stated that the U.S. would not seek a truce extension.

Tensions have escalated regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if the country interferes with U.S. efforts to secure the waterway or negotiate with Iran. Meanwhile, Iran has indicated it is prepared to shift to a fully offensive military posture if diplomacy fails, specifically targeting the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
