Iran to Try Donald Trump Under ‘Islamic Penal Code’ for Soleimani Airstrike
2020-01-15
[BREITBART] A front man for Iran’s courts announced lawsuits against President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
and the American armed forces generally in the Iranian legal system for the elimination of the nation’s terror chief Qasem Soleimani.

A U.S. Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
removed Soleimani, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, and the head of Iraq’s Hezbollah Brigades Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis from the battlefield this month. As Quds Force chief, Soleimani led Iran’s international colonial efforts and orchestrated dozens of terrorist attacks ‐ including IED attacks on American soldiers ‐ to expand Iran’s influence. Soleimani played a large role in attacks on civilians in Syria, helped the Shiite Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
illegally seize power, and offered support to Iran’s socialist allies in Venezuela
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeds places like Honduras and El Salvador, and a significant proportion of the populace as refugeed to Colombia and points south...
and throughout Latin America.

American officials, including Trump, have repeatedly stated they had intelligence suggesting Soleimani was planning "imminent" attacks on Americans in Iraq, where he spent most of the end of his life helping Baghdad target and kill civilian protesters.

Gholamhossein Esmaeili, front man for the Iranian Judiciary, told news hounds Tuesday that the targeted strike against Soleimani was "a terrorist move" and that Trump would face Iranian justice in one of the world’s most notoriously unfair and violent legal systems.

"There is no doubt that the U.S. military has done a terrorist move assassinating IRGC Commander Lt. Gen. Soleimani and Second-in-Command of Iraq Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis ... and Trump has confessed doing the crime," Esmaeili said, according to Iran’s Mehr news service. "The firmest reason for accusing an individual is his confession."

Esmaeili said that Iranian officials would "initially file a lawsuit in Iran, which is legal under the Islamic Penal Code." He did not specify what redress the Iranian state would seek in that lawsuit, though it would presumably target Washington and the president for "terrorism."

#6  Perhaps "killing America's enemies" could be added to the articles of impeachment. At least this is something Trump has actually done.
