Iran Offers $30,000 Bounty for Killing US Troops

"Anyone 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's Army," Hatami told Iran's state-run IRNA news agency.

Iran is offering twice as much, $60,000, if an Iranian woman carries out the act, Hatami said.

The Iranian commander claimed there had been a "large number of requests" to establish the bounties.

He also said weapons used to kill Americans would be purchased for twice their value, replaced with new weapons, and eventually displayed in a planned museum.

The inflammatory offer faces an obvious logistical problem: There are no U.S. ground forces deployed inside Iran.

Hatami provided no details about where or how Iranians would be expected to attack American personnel, the New York Post reported.

Hatami also demanded that U.S. forces leave the region, declaring that American troops should no longer be permitted to enter the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, or Strait of Hormuz.

"Anyone 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's Army,"

Iran's thugs want an American to torture on live TV because they feel Americans are soft and will fold if they see torture. If you want to make an Iranian want to kill you, respond by saying, "Americans don't do well with torture because we live in a country that's worth living in - and our soldiers do too. WE have many things to live for...

If an Iranian's tortured his fellow citizens stay quiet because they're afraid if they speak up they'll be next - just one of the many joys of living in a hellhole culture. Hard to believe the Mullahs ands their butt boys in the their so called army (torture squads) are too stupid to figure this out.

I say that we offer our troops a bounty of one (1) case of beer for the killing of any member of the upper leadership of the IRGC or the Iranian government. They’re worth a case of beer, our simple soldiers, sailors and airmen are worth at least 1,000 times more according to the Iranians themselves.

That is probably a lot cheaper than a smart bomb.

I occasionally wonder if Iran has assets moving overseas that the average American isn’t thinking about. Either small groups of armed IRGC troops attacking an NFL game…or a container or two snuck to China and loaded on a ship going to the west coast or Panama Canal. Remember the Ukrainian “Drone trailer”? A few containers could be full of those things and they would wreak havoc on our ports and cities.

If you have an evil mind, there are plenty of things Iran could do to mess up things going into the autumn.

Pikers. And not just Hasan Piker, either.

A US military asset is worth a LOT more than $30,000. What do they think this is, World War Two?

I’d hate like heck to go out and kill somebody and then get handed an IOU.

I’ll give a dollar to any US soldier who takes out an Iranian soldier. They aren’t worth much more.
