Iran has issued an arrest warrant against US President Donald Trump. The warrant has been issued over the drone strike that killed a top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in January, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. Trump is one of 36 people against whom Iran has issued arrest warrants, as per Fars, but the Tehran attorney general Ali Alqasi Mehr said Trump was at the top of the list. Qasem Soleimani was the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC). Fars reported that Mehr claimed Trump would be prosecuted as soon as he stands down presidency after his term ends. US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook called the move a ‘political stunt’ during a joint press conference with the Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir. Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike at Baghdad International Airport in January along with five others.
