Iran's army chief offers $30,000 for killing or capturing a U.S. soldier

IRNA quoted Army chief Amir Hatami saying any individual who kills an American aggressor force will receive a reward equivalent to $30,000 or 5 billion tomans. ABC News reported the IRNA post and said Hatami made the announcement at a ceremony honoring journalists. The live desk already recorded his same-day warning that U.S. forces will not be allowed back into the Gulf. This item records the bounty remark.

Why this matters. This is a separate official statement from the Gulf access warning already on the desk.
