Iran issues an ARREST WARRANT for Donald Trump over killing of top general Qassem Soleimani – The Sun
IRAN has issued and an ARREST WARRANT for Donald Trump over the killing of top general Qassem Soleimani.
The arrest warrant for the US President comes nearly six months after the general was killed on January 3, AlJazeera reported.
Prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr announced the arrest warrant from Iranian courts on Monday, ISNA International reported.
Trump and 35 others have been accused of "murder" and "terrorist acts," Alqasimehr said.
Alqasimehr said that officials will continue to pursue the prosecution of Trump, even after his presidency ends.
The other accused 35 individuals include US political and military officials, the prosecutor said.
None of the others were immediately named.
The January 3 killing of Soleimani came after Trump claimed he was plotting against American diplomats in Iraq.
Trump claimed Soleimani killed or wounded thousands of Americans and was "plotting to kill many more."
At least two missiles were filed at a vehicle from a US MA-9 reaper drone, killing the general and others on board.
Reports emerged that the Pentagon had plotted the assassination for 18 months before it was carried out in the drone strike.
Following Soleimani's killing, tensions ran high with the US and Iran.
A top Iranian general said even killing Trump would not avenge Soleimani's death.
Weeks after the general's death, Ahmad Hamzeh, parliamentary speaker from Kerman province, offered a $3million "cash prize" to anyone who "kills Donald Trump."
