U.S. Considers Sanctions After Salman Rushdie Attack

“The Biden administration is considering sanctions targeting entities linked to Iran for encouraging attacks on Salman Rushdie, people familiar with the matter say, after the acclaimed novelist was stabbed last month at a New York event,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The sanctions under consideration include restricting the access of these entities to the global financial system… Some of them have offered rewards to kill Mr. Rushdie, which the U.S. believes motivates such attacks.”
