Iran’s military announces it is offering a reward equivalent to US$30,000 for killing or capturing US soldiers, with the amount doubling if the action is carried out by a woman. The announcement is attributed to Army chief Amir Hatami and carried by Iran’s state news agency, IRNA.

Outlets describe the same core policy: a cash incentive for attacks involving US troops, presented as part of a plan prepared after “a large number of requests” to participate. Most reports focus on the financial details and the gender-based doubling of the reward. Some also note that the statement does not provide further operational specifics such as timing or limits, and they do not confirm any immediate change in US deployment.

Coverage differs mainly in framing. Some outlets emphasize the escalation risk and wider security implications, while others provide a straightforward summary of the announcement and its stated rationale. None of the sources included here provides independent verification of a broader campaign beyond the stated bounty offer.
