Iran on Monday issued arrest warrants for 36 people, including the U.S. President Donald Trump, for the killing of top general Qasem Soleimani and asked Interpol for help.

"36 individuals who have been involved or ordered the assassination of Hajj Qassem, including the political and military officials of the U.S. and other governments, have been identified and arrest warrants have been issued for them by the judiciary officials and red alerts have also been issued for them via the Interpol," Prosecutor-General of Tehran Ali Alqasi Mehr said, according to Fars News Agency.

Soleimani and other Iranian and Iraqi officials were killed in a U.S. airstrike near Baghdad in January.
