Tehran, June 29 (RHC)-- Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining U.S. President Donald Trump and dozens of others who carried out the drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad earlier this year.

Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said on Monday that Trump, along with more than 30 others Iran accuses of involvement in the January 3rd attack that killed General Qassem Soleimani, face "murder and terrorism charges," the ISNA news agency reported.

Alqasimehr did not identify anyone else sought other than Trump, but stressed Iran would continue to pursue his prosecution even after his presidency ends.  Interpol, based in Lyon, France, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Alqasimehr was also quoted as saying Iran had requested a "Red Notice" be put out for Trump and the others, the highest-level notice issued by Interpol, requesting that seeks the location and arrest of the individual named. 

Under a Red Notice, local authorities make the arrests on behalf of the country that requested it. The notices cannot force countries to arrest or extradite suspects, but can put government leaders on the spot and limit suspects' travel.

After receiving a request, Interpol meets by committee and discusses whether or not to share the information with its member states.  Interpol has no requirement for making any of the notices public, though some do get published on its website.

The U.S. president openly admitted killing General Soleimani, who oversaw the Revolutionary Guard Corps's expeditionary Quds Force, and others in the January attack near Baghdad International Airport.
