Interpol Rejects Iran's Request to Arrest US President

The Iranian judiciary has rejected the announcement of the International Police " INTERPOL " not to consider its request to arrest US President Donald J. Trump for plotting the murder of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, former commander of the Quds Force.

The international police claimed that this crime is a political issue so it turned down the Iranian request.

Ghulam Hussein Ismaili, spokesman of the Iranian judiciary, said that the assassination of Qassem Soleimani was not a political or ethnic issue.

He added that the killing of the Iranian commander was the murder of a person who entered another country at an official invitation of that country.

Ismaili described the murdered commander as a symbol of combating terrorism in the region. He noted that the crime is evidence that the issue is not political at all.

Ismaili  stressed that Tehran will not waste the blood of Qassem Soleimani.

Iran's announced yesterday, Monday that 36 names have been submitted to the International Police, "INTERPOL", and they issued a warrant for arrest.

Those wanted people are political and military personalities from the United States of America (USA) and other countries, among those personalities are US President Donald J. Trump.

The INTERPOL said they would not consider the Iranian request because it is strictly prohibited from interfering in any acts of a political, military, religious or ethnic nature.

On the other hand, the Iranian Public Prosecutor in Tehran also announced that he had prepared a list of 36 people, topped by US President Donald Trump, for direct or indirect relation to the assassination of the former commander of the "Quds Force" Qassem Soleimani.

Prosecutor Ali Al-Qassi Mehr said yesterday, Monday, that Trump is at the head of these suspected personalities, and we will work to prosecute him even after his term as President of the United States ends.

Mehr confirmed that 36 people were identified as having a direct or indirect relationship with the assassination of Qassem Soleimani. He explained that the judiciary charged these people with murder and terrorist acts.

The commander of the Iranian "Quds Force" Qassem Soleimani was killed by an American raid on his car near Baghdad Airport, on the third of last January. He was accompanied by the former deputy head of the "Popular Mobilization" Iraqi Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, who was killed with him in the raid.
