Iran issues Interpol arrest warrant for Trump over Soleimani killing as tension rise
Source: Independent
The Iranian government has filed a red notice with Interpol that requests the arrest of US president Donald Trump and 47 other American officials for the assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps major general Qassem Soleimani on 3 January 2020.

As Mr Trump leaves office on January 20, Iran hopes it will become easier to force him to face consequences for the killing of Mr Soleimani.
The chief justice of Iran Ebrahim Raisi, said: Fortunately, Trumps presidency has ended. But even if his term hadnt ended, it would be unacceptable to say someone shouldnt be accountable to law due to his administrative position.
Ali Kadkhodaei, a spokesman for the Guardian Council which vets legislation and oversees elections in Iran, said that while it is difficult to pursue legal actions against Mr Trump while hes head of state, some international experts hold the view that after Trumps presidency is over this might be possible".

He changed his dietary routine in a hurry.
