Iranian Army Offers Valuable Bounty for Killing or Capturing an American Soldier - Sarmad

The Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army, Amir Hatami, announced a financial reward of $30,000 for anyone who captures or kills an American soldier.

According to the Iranian Fars News Agency, Hatami made the remarks during a celebration of Journalists’ Day, stating that any Iranian military personnel who, with the participation of the people, manages to capture or kill an “aggressive American soldier” would receive a reward of $30,000.

Hatami added that “the expulsion of the United States has effectively been achieved, and they no longer have any permission to enter the Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, or the Strait of Hormuz.” He said, “Everyone must realize that U.S. bases are in no position to return to their former status, and Iran will never allow that to happen.”

The announcement comes amid escalating military tensions between Iran and the United States in the region. In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz is under full U.S. control, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters stated on Thursday that the strait remains under Iranian control.
