Iranian state media is now dangling $60,000 to any civilian who helps locate the pilots of a downed American fighter jet.
This marks the first confirmed loss of a US aircraft over Iranian territory in the escalating conflict. A US official confirmed to Reuters that the jet was shot down, with search and rescue teams scrambling on the ground while the Pentagon has offered no public comment.
The mullahs regime is openly turning its own people into bounty hunters, pushing cash rewards for delivering American airmen alive to security forces. Iranian broadcasts shifted quickly from calls to shoot pilots on sight to promising a big payday for handing them over.
This move reveals a desperate regime that can’t fully secure its own skies yet still hunts our pilots like trophies on the ground. American forces are pressing hard against key Iranian targets, exposing Tehran’s air defenses as weaker than advertised.
Our pilots deserve every chance to return home safely. In war, showing vulnerability only invites bolder attacks, and Iran’s bounty tactic screams fragility, not strength.
