Joke of the year as Iran issues arrest warrant for Donald Trump over killing of top general
Is this some kind of joke or what?? Iran has issued an arrest warrant for U.S. President Donald Trump and
35 others over the killing of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.
Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said on
Monday, according to the Fars news agency.
On Jan. 3, a U.S. drone strike in Iraq killed Soleimani, leader of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force. Washington blamed Soleimani for masterminding attacks by Iran-aligned militias on U.S. forces in the region.
Alqasimehr said the warrants had been issued on charges of murder and terrorist action. He said Iran had asked Interpol to issue a “red notice” for Trump and the other individuals the Islamic Republic accuses of taking part in the killing of Soleimani.
Alqasimehr said the group included other U.S. military and civilian officials but did not provide further details.
He said Iran would continue to pursue the matter after Trump’s time in office ends.
The killing of Soleimani brought the United States and Iran to the brink of armed conflict after Iran retaliated by firing missiles at American targets in Iraq several days later.
Trump, however, is in no danger of arrest and it’s highly unlikely Interpol would honor Iran’s request, as the international agency’s guidelines forbid it from “undertaking any intervention or activities of a political” nature.
