The magazine, U.S. News and World Report, is respectable, but with a right-wing bias. Right-wing media in the U.S. have a tendency to publish reports that back the Republican administration claims. This is one of them.
The questions about this story are: a) Do the Iranian government has enough money to pay that bounty? b) How will the the bounty hunters claim their prize? ------------- |

I don't think Iran wants to spite the US too much after seeing its
southern neighbour invaded... Although I think the Iranians would
put up more of a fight.

how ouwld you even pay such a bounty to a bunch of scattered people who are just as likely to hate Iran as much as the US? Sounds like BS to me ------------- "the people are nothing but a great beast... I have learned to hold popular opinion of no value." -Alexander Hamilton |
