Hardline daily editor says Trump must be handed to Iran for trial
Hossein Shariatmadari, Iranian Supreme Leader’s representative at the Kayhan newspaper, wrote on Sunday that Iran’s first demand in negotiations should be the handover of US President Donald Trump for trial in Iranian courts.
“The first step in fulfilling the Leader’s demands in the negotiations is to insist on handing Trump over to the Islamic Republic for trial in Iran’s judicial authorities,” he wrote.
He also wrote that Iran’s negotiating team should refuse to accept Trump or his representatives in future talks and instead propose a delegation made up of members of the US Congress.
“The effort to avenge Supreme Leader must take place on American soil itself,” he added.
