Tehran\u2019s military chief put out a $30,000 reward for anyone who kills or captures a US soldier \u2014 with the reward doubled for Iranian women \u2014 but it remains unclear how they can carry out the orders. <\/p>\n

Iranian army chief Amir Hatami said there were a \u201clarge number of requests\u201d for bounties to be put on the American soldiers despite the lack of US ground forces in Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who kills or captures and hands over an invading American military personnel will receive a reward equivalent to $30,000 or 5 billion tomans from the Islamic Republic of Iran\u2019s Army,\u201d Hatami told IRNA. <\/p>\n

\u201cCourageous Iranian women who carry out such an action will receive double the reward,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

The army chief even claimed that the weapon used to kill an American would be kept in a supposed museum currently under planning. <\/p>\n

Hatami, however, made no mention of when or where attacks on US soldiers, who are stationed beyond the reach of the average Iranians, would take place.<\/p>\n

The 18 US troops who have died since the war with Iran began on Feb. 28 have all died outside the country in airstrikes and munition incidents. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The last time a US soldier was on Iranian soil was in April when an F-15E fighter jet went down, resulting in a quick rescue mission for its pilot and weapons specialist.<\/p>\n

The bounty announcement comes after President Trump repeatedly accused Iran of struggling to pay its troops as the renewed US naval blockade continues to bleed the Islamic republic\u2019s finances. <\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s rial currency has plummeted to record lows during the war, while the nation\u2019s inflation has also skyrocketed to historic levels.<\/p>\n
