As a state announcement, this reflects the official Iranian government stance and may not provide an objective view.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Republic Army of Iran announced nearly 20 days ago the approval of a plan under which any individual or force that succeeds in killing or capturing an American invading force will receive a reward of $30,000. This plan, which ostensibly has a military and deterrent nature, is fundamentally a formal call for public participation in the defense of the country.
