Iran Demanded Interpol to Put Trump on the International Wanted List

Iran issued an arrest warrant for US President Donald Trump on suspicion of General Quassem Soleimani assassination. Iranian authorities demanded that Interpol put Trump and several dozen people on the international wanted list. Interpol refused to do this Novaya Gazeta reported. According to Tehran’s prosecutor Al-Qashi Mehr, “Iran’s judicial system has issued an arrest warrant for a total of 36 individuals including political and military officials from the United States and other countries involved in the assassination of General Soleimani.” “We notified Interpol of this,” he said. The prosecutor accused of terrorism everyone involved in Soleimani’s murder and said that US President Donald Trump is in first place on this list. However, Interpol refused to put Trump on the wanted list, explaining that the organization’s charter “strictly prohibits any activity or interference of a political, military, religious or racial nature”. Recall, on January 3, as a result of an American missile strike in Baghdad, General Quassem Soleimani, the special forces of the Al-Quds Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, was killed. A little later, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani signed a law listing the Pentagon and the US Armed Forces as terrorist organizations. The amendment adopted by the parliament also stated that all persons involved in Soleimani’s murder should also be considered as terrorists.
