Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump that Interpol rejects
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for
help in detaining President Donald Trump and dozens of others it
believes carried out the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian
general in Baghdad, a local prosecutor reportedly said Monday.
Interpol later said it wouldn’t consider Iran’s request, meaning Trump
faces no danger of arrest. However, the charges underscore the
heightened tensions between Iran and the United States since Trump
unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world
powers.
Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said Trump and 35 others whom Iran accuses of involvement in the Jan. 3 strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad face “murder and terrorism charges,” the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
