Iran has asked Interpol to issue a “red notice” and direct law enforcement agencies around the world to arrest President Trump and 47 US officials over the US drone strike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad airport last year, according to a report Tuesday.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is following very seriously the prosecution and punishment of those who ordered and carried out this crime,” said Iranian judiciary spokesman Gholam Hossein Ismaili. Al Jazeera reported.

In June, Interpol rejected a request by Tehran’s Attorney General, Ali Al-Qasemhr, to issue an arrest warrant for Trump, Pentagon officials and members of the US Central Command on “murder and terrorism charges.”
The International Police Agency said its constitution forbids it from taking action against a political figure.
And she says: “The organization is strictly prohibited from carrying out any interference or activities of a political, military, religious or ethnic nature.”
