Iran Offers $30,000 Bounty for Killing or Capturing US Soldiers

Iran has offered a $30,000 bounty for the killing or capture of US soldiers, as reported by a report circulating from Iranian authorities. The move is framed as part of Iran’s broader deterrence posture toward the United States amid ongoing tensions in the region. The bounty has been reported alongside other Iranian measures targeting US-linked personnel and interests. The development could further raise the risk of escalation, harden US and partner responses, and complicate diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing violence.
