Wednesday, 06 January 2021_Iran has issued a red notice request to Interpol for the apprehension of the US president and 47 others in connection with the assassination of top Iranian anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad last year.
Gholam Hossein Esmaili, Iran’s Judiciary spokesman, announced on Tuesday that Tehran has requested Interpol to issue a red notice for those involved in the US assassination of the prominent military commander.
Esmaieli said Iran has identified 48 people in connection with the targeted killing and that includes US President Donald Trump, Pentagon officials and American forces in the region.
The Iranian Judiciary spokesman said Tehran has made it clear in its request the role each individual played in the brutal assassination and stressed that Iran would seriously pursue the case to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Iran's Judiciary chief Ebrahim Raeisi said a day earlier that Trump would ultimately have to pay for ordering the assassination of General Soleimani “whether he heads the US administration or not."
