Iran Announces Policy to Kill One US Serviceman per Iranian Citizen

Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, announced a formal military policy termed the "equation of the battlefield." Under this new rule, Iranian forces will target and kill one United States serviceman for every Iranian citizen killed.

Abdollahi stated that the operational validity of this policy had been previously demonstrated to the enemy and is now an officially declared rule governing the conflict. He characterized the policy as a definitive equation for the battlefield and asserted that the Iranian military has prepared "free, direct tickets to hell" for U.S. forces.
