Iran seeks Interpol red notice for Trump, US officials
The Iranian government wants President Donald Trump arrested for ordering the drone strike that killed Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani.
Iran has again asked Interpol to issue a “red notice” for President Donald Trump and 47 other US officials the country blames for the assassination of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani last year.
"The culprits have been identified," Iran’s Mehrs News Agency quoted judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili as saying in his weekly press conference. Esmaili described Trump as the “main culprit” in Soleimani’s death, along with officials at the Pentagon and US forces in the region.
When the France-based international police organization circulates a red notice, law enforcement agencies around the world are asked to locate and provisionally arrest suspects who are wanted for extradition.
Iran's request to Interpol is the second such ask it has made of the France-based international police organization this year. In June, Tehran requested Interpol’s help arresting Trump for “murder and terrorism charges” in connection with Soleimani’s killing.
