He said the reward would double to $40,000 if the citizen is a woman.  “Furthermore, I believe that if people from countries in the region were to do the same, that is, succeed in taking down or capturing an American soldier, we could award this prize to them as well,” Akraminia said.

IRGC urges Americans to reject Trump’s Iran policy  Earlier on Tuesday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) appealed to US midterm voters to reject US President Donald Trump's policies and accept an offer of peaceful coexistence.  The assertions were made in a (https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-910050) 25-page open letter addressed to the American people , urging them to oppose US support for Israel and foreign wars and arguing that Iran and the US could coexist if US policy changed.   The letter accused Trump of concealing the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program, which Israel, in particular, sees as an existential threat, and the effectiveness of Tehran's blockade of Gulf oil.  IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi told reporters he did not expect the letter to affect the US administration's behavior some five weeks before the elections, but that voters might hear the message.  "The American people are not knowledgeable about many developments. We believe if they knew more, they would think differently and take other decisions," he said, adding that Trump is a "big liar."
