The Iranian foreign ministry said on Monday that nobody has the right to accuse Iran of being responsible for Friday's assault on Salman Rushdie, for which he and his followers are solely responsible. The novelist, who has faced threats for decades after enraging Iranian clerics with his writing, is recovering after being stabbed multiple times during a public appearance in New York state.
