Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump, asks Interpol to help

Source: Al Jazeera

Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said on Monday that Trump, along with more than 30 others Iran accuses of involvement in the January 3 attack that killed General Qassem Soleimani, face "murder and terrorism charges", the semi-official ISNA news agency reported. Alqasimehr was also quoted as saying Iran had requested a "red notice" be put out for Trump and the others, the highest-level notice issued by Interpol, requesting that seeks the location and arrest of the individual named.

Under a red notice, local authorities make the arrests on behalf of the country that requested it. The notices cannot force countries to arrest or extradite suspects, but can put government leaders on the spot and limit suspects' travel.

...it is unlikely Interpol would grant Iran's request as its guideline for notices forbids it from "undertaking any intervention or activities of a political" nature.

The US killed General Soleimani, who oversaw the Revolutionary Guard Corps's expeditionary Quds Force, and others in the January attack near Baghdad International Airport.

I suspect its real goal is the Iranian government wants to use it as internal PR to try and settle the more strident voices that are pushing it to do something over the killing of Soleimani.

Think of it, the orange fuck face and his groupies not being able to travel overseas after he's out of office for fear that he'd be arrested the second the plane doors opened up after landing. Him not being able to visit his overseas properties is so delicious.
