Iran issues arrest warrant for Donald Trump, asks Interpol for 'red notice' over Qassem Soleimani killing

Posted 9 hours ago, updated 33 minutes ago

Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining US President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the US drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad.

Key points:

* Iran wants Mr Trump and more than 30 other people detained under Interpol's highest level of arrest warrant

* Interpol is not expected to issue a red notice for Mr Trump due to its guidelines about political interference

* The US special representative for Iran said the move was a stunt that looked foolish

While Mr Trump faces no danger of arrest, the charges underscore the heightened tensions between Iran and the US since it unilaterally withdrew from Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers.
