Iran’s Fars news agency reported, citing Army Chief of Staff Major General Amir Hatami, that any Iranian who manages to "capture or kill" a US soldier described as an "aggressor" will be awarded a $30,000 reward.

According to Fars, the army chief said the reward would be provided by "the Iranian people."

Separately, Iranian parliament speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said today that Tehran is engaged in a "cowardly" war led by the United States and Israel.

According to Fars, Ghalibaf added: "Based on my knowledge of the details, I can say from the bottom of my heart that we have truly achieved military and political victory in this war."

The parliament speaker described the memorandum of understanding between Iran and Washington as a "document of honor and a victory to consolidate success in the field of diplomacy."

The memorandum, known as the "Islamabad Understanding," was reached after months of unprecedented military confrontation between the two sides that began on February 28, followed by Iranian attacks targeting US interests, facilities, and infrastructure in several regional countries.
