Iran has said it had no role in the attack on Salman Rushdie. Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said during a press conference on Monday that Iran had no role in the attack on the Indian-origin author, according to Islamic news agency Irna.
The Kanaani said Iran could not be blamed for the attack. Meanwhile, reports say that Rushdie has been taken off the ventilator and is in a talking position.
“Regarding the attack against Salman Rushdie in America, we don’t consider anyone deserving reproach, blame or even condemnation, except for (Rushdie) himself and his supporters,” Kanaani said.
“In this regard, no one can blame the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he added. “We believe that the insults made and the support he received was an insult against followers of all religions.”
