Oh well Donald, there will always be something else to use to distract your plebs.

Interesting to note that Interpol basically called the Iran prosecutor an idiot and stated they "would not consider requests of this nature”.

Interpol rejects Iran’s request to arrest President Donald Trump

Iran issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad, a local prosecutor reportedly said Monday.

Interpol later said it wouldn’t consider Iran’s request, meaning Trump faces no danger of arrest. However, the charges underscore the heightened tensions between Iran and the United States since Trump unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.

Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said Trump and 35 others whom Iran accuses of involvement in the Jan. 3 strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad face “murder and terrorism charges,” the state-run IRNA news agency reported.

Alqasimehr did not identify anyone else sought other than Trump, but stressed that Iran would continue to pursue his prosecution even after his presidency ends.

Alqasimehr also was quoted as saying that Iran requested a “red notice” be put out for Trump and the others, which represents the highest-level arrest request issued by Interpol. Local authorities generally make the arrests on behalf of the country that requests 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.

Interpol later issued a statement saying its guidelines for notices forbids it from “any intervention or activities of a political” nature.

Interpol “would not consider requests of this nature,” it said.

Brian Hook, the U.S. special representative for Iran, dismissed the arrest warrant announcement during a news conference in Saudi Arabia on Monday.

“It’s a propaganda stunt that no one takes seriously and makes the Iranians look foolish,” Hook said.

The U.S. killed Soleimani, who oversaw the Revolutionary Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force, and others in the January strike near Baghdad International Airport. It came after months of rising tensions between the two countries. Iran retaliated with a ballistic missile strike targeting American troops in Iraq.

This is really bad news for the left which prefers to have Trump in jail for killing a terrorist that had killed thousands of Americans, than having the terrorist remain alive. The deal Obama did with the Mullahs while this terrorist was killing Americans says everything of where the left stands.

Normally, I'd agree. But he probably fears being indicted once out of office; and will try to stay in office, by hook or by crook.

No, you see the US as Rome was, higher than others and of greater inherent worth. Its an empire pleb mentality.

Was the WHO assisting China to fool the world? No, patently not but Trump made his subjects feel it was.

Short term gain, long term pain.

Soon Interpol, which took a long time to build, could be the next target of he needs a distraction. Probably not but things have reached that stage of rediculous.

If Interpol is just a tool for leftists then it should be defunded and all cooperation withdrawn.

Do stupid stuff. Win stupid prizes.

You watch Fox News? That is a surprise.

Iran = China = Democrats. All the same people working for the same thing. The dismantling of the United States of America.

I do not watch Fox news, not an elderly man with dementia. I do have a news collection system that scrapes the website.

Obama should be put in prison for giving Iran tons of money to build bombs.
