[RedState] Is it really new?
Iran has been taking a pounding from the United States and Israel for some months now. The regime is battered; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps now appears to be either in charge or angling to be, having already seized control of what's left of Iran's military. Their civil leadership has been reduced to the third level by American explosives. And, the country is broke, with inflation at astronomic levels and their ports blockaded by the United States Navy.
So, when you hear that Iran is now offering a bounty to whomever can kill or capture an American service member, said bounty amounting to five billion tomans, about $30,000 in American freedom dollars, you have to wonder where they think they'll get the money should someone seek to collect. A toman is a superunit of Iran's rial, amounting to 10,000 of the new, devalued rials. Oh, and if a woman claims the prize, the award is doubled.
Iran's Army chief, a goblin named Amir Hatami, was quoted making the offer on Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency's X account.
