Iran Offers Bounty for U.S. Soldiers

The Iranian military has announced a bounty equivalent to $30,000 for the killing or capturing of U.S. soldiers during the ongoing West Asia war.

The reward amount doubles to $60,000 if the act is carried out by a woman, according to the military announcement reported on August 17, 2026.

This development follows reports of Iranian authorities calling for the release of three pilots allegedly captured in Qatar as regional tensions continue to rise.
