Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump over Soleimani killing, will ask Interpol to act

Iran has identified 36 people involved in the US assassination of General Qassem Soleimani and will seek their arrest through Interpol channels, media reports said. The list of suspects is topped by President Donald Trump.

The names of the suspects in the high-profile murder of Iran's elite Quds Force commander have been relayed to Interpol by Tehran's chief prosecutor Ali Alghasi-Mehr, Iranian media said on Monday. The official called the killing a "murder" and a "terrorist act."

"President Donald Trump is at the top of the list, and his prosecution will be pursued even after his term is over."

Soleimani was killed on January 3 during a visit to Iraq, when his car was hit by a US airstrike. The Trump administration justified the attack, which also killed a prominent Iraqi commander and several other people, saying the Iranian general was plotting attacks on US soldiers.

The popular general received a hero's funeral in Iran, with millions taking to the streets on the days of the ceremony. Soleimani is credited with organizing and supporting Shiite militias, which fought against the terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) in Iraq and Syria. He was also considered to be a key figure in Tehran's confrontation with US influence in the Middle East.

The assassination lead to a surge in hostility toward the US in Iraq. Its parliament even voted to have all foreign troops removed from Iraqi territory. The instruction is yet to be implemented by the Iraqi government, however.

Trump ordered the assassination of Soleimani amid a period of increased tension in Iraq. The situation escalated after several attacks on bases hosting US forces and those held by Iran-backed Iraqi militias in what appeared to be a cycle of tit-for-tat retaliations.

Days before the killing of Soleimani the US embassy in Baghdad was ransacked by a crowd of protesters, who stopped short of attacking the staff of the diplomatic mission.

Good luck with that. I think Iran would have a better chance issuing him a littering ticket.

The purpose is not to arrest him and put him on trial. They are not stupid. The purpose is largely symbolic it shows that Iran is serious about the assassination that they consider the assassination to be a crime and that due process should apply.

It might also, for Iran, open the door for other actions either against Trump directly or his Co-conspirators who might be more easily apprehended.

I don't blame them I would also put an arrest warrant out..

Problem with the US they like regime changes and now think it is their god given duty to rule the planet and that rule include assassinating anyone they wish to do so with NO evidence..

Just like they invaded Iraq on the basis of WMD when actually they had nothing there to threaten anyone other than a few rag heads.. and camels so they were threatening the world with 500 camels, 600 tons of camel shit and some stupid half trained army    Ok so lets invade that country..Bush and Blair need to be tried for war crimes there..

If I was Iran I would of immediately bombed every US Army post in the Middle East and made sure there was mass casualties , the more the better..someone needs to do some thing about it..

Cufflinks you're definitely a patriotic man but have you ever once contemplated that it's the USA who is occupying land in the Middle East not belonging to us?

Don't worry cufflinks, I am sure that you already know that it is not possible to commit the 'crime' of treason against a country that one is not a citizen of.

You might, if thinking, be getting confused with something else.

Dude you know Trump would have pulled us out of Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria right after he crushed ISIS but the Democrat War Mongers and their Deep State Obama Biden embeds have blocked him. As for Solemani he has the blood of thousands of US troops on his hands supplying IEDs and EFDs across the Midwest and got what he deserved.  As for the Brit CCP lovers with allies like you all who needs enemies.

No I am NOT an ally with anyone who likes the CCP, that's for sure.

We definitely agree that Trump wants to bring our troops home and traitors in the media and elsewhere have made the whole process very difficult.
