Iran issues Interpol arrest warrant for Trump over Soleimani killing as tension rise

[BlueWavePsych]

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.

*snip*

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, Trump’s presidency has ended. But even if his term hadn’t ended, it would be unacceptable to say someone shouldn’t 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 he’s head of state, “some international experts hold the view that after Trump’s presidency is over this might be possible".

2. Oh, man, this is starting to read like a Tom Clancy novel.

[GemDigger]

10. Let me add to that novel, I just ran into a very interesting letter that trump wrote to the ICC

and I wonder if he was just covering his ass for the future.

3. pssssst! hey Iran!...... stake out at his Turnball golf course..

15. Or the local KFC

[oro]

24. That meal

is a violation of some kind!

[colorado_ufo]

25. That's what I was thinking! Lethal!

My young ex-son-in-law, who is a great guy, for a while was eating at KFC every day for lunch. When he needed some surgery, they ran a pre-surgery blood screening, and his cholesterol and triglycerides, especially his LDL, were way out of line!

He changed his dietary routine in a hurry.

29. Holy shit!! Look what dealing with this guy has done

to Pence's moth.... errrr.... I mean wife.....

[Butterflylady]

4. Hell, we'll even gift wrap him for them.

[Escurumbele]

17. LOL

Good one...let me know, I will provide the ribbon

[CanonRay]

5. Is there a bounty?

Asking for a friend

9. LOL.. A fair question! Now get it on USGov pay-per-view & we can recover Trump's trillion $$ debt

His brand would be worthless around the world forever.

I think he owes so much money to legit govts & the mob, that there's going to be a global brawl as to who gets 1st dibs.

[hlthe2b]

6. Take him (and our problems) off our hands... Please

I'm sure he won't argue against a FAIR and Public trial for his actions, right Trumpy? The Hague might be sounding a lot better in comparison, I'd bet.

[mr_lebowski]

7. Other articles are saying Interpol isn't going to issue this warrant on the request of Iran ...

So it's basically bluster on the part of Iran.

Unfortunately.

[Budi]

11. Interpol, if you're listening...

12. Kissinger is 97.

The article is from 2015.

Not questioning its validity overall, though.

[StClone]

13. Ha! Thanks for the update.

I doubt he is traveling anywhere any time again.

[yaesu]

16. This will push tRump over the edge for another stupid, dangerous operation Wag the Dog. nt

[NurseJackie]

18. Wonderful!

[oldsoftie]

19. Oh, piss off, Iran. Biden will deal with you.

[Nitram]

21. As stupid as it is for Iran to issue an Interpol arrest warrant for Trump given the murders that

are committed on the orders of Qassem Soleimani, I would love to see Trump in jail in Iran. It would be cool if they would put up a live stream of Trump whining in prison.

[JudyM]

26. There'd be some serious pay per view money in that.

[marble falls]

22. He'll be stabding with a pile of boxes outside the White House Jan 20.

27. Man without a country

Soon to be.

[Mickju]

28. I would be happy if they arrest him.

He needs to face justice whether here or elsewhere.

[58Sunliner]

30. Oh yes!

[bdamomma]

31. woo hoo

that is good news

[Mickju]

32. This should be fun!
