Iran issues warrant against Trump, others over killing of its top general

Iran has shown its dissatisfaction with US President Donald Trump by issuing an arrest warrant against the president and dozens of others, accusing them of being responsible for the death of a top Iranian general.

Teheran prosecutor Ali Qasi Mehr, quoted by state news agency IRNA on Monday, said that 36 US political and military officials "involved in the assassination" of Qasem Soleimani in January "have been investigated and were ordered to be arrested through Interpol".

He also said: "These people have been charged with murder and terrorist acts."
