Currently, tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated after the Iranian military announced a $30,000 reward for each U.S. service member captured or killed and handed over to Iranian authorities. The measure was announced by Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Major General Amir Hatami, according to information released by the state-run IRNA news agency.
Hatami said the initiative came after receiving numerous requests from people interested in participating in what he described as a financial support effort related to the conflict. He also claimed that Iranian women who captured or killed a U.S. soldier would receive twice the reward, although he did not provide details about how the payments would be made or where such actions could take place.
