Iran has reportedly offered a reward of up to $40,000 to any citizen who captures or kills an American soldier, according to Iran's Army Spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia in a video circulating on social media on Tuesday.
“It dates back to a time when people, benefactors, wanted to participate in this jihad against the American enemy but lacked the physical capacity to fight,” Akraminia said in the video. “They declared that they could provide financial assistance and make the necessary funds available.”
