Related: About this forumUniversity of Denver Professor Blames Mossad for Rushdie Attack
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)A college professor of the Middle East and Islamic Politics at the University of Denver recently said that the Israeli intelligence body, the Mossad, was responsible for the attack on Salman Rushdie in New York.
On the show Iran Podcast, Professor Nader Hashemi while explaining the events surrounding the terrorist attack on Rushdie with host and Iranian journalist Negar Mortazavi, describes several explanations behind the attackers motives and whether it is related to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Near the end of the show, Hashemi explains that the most likely possibility of what happened was that this young kid, Hadi Matar, was in communication with someone online who claimed to be an IRGC supporter and lured him into attacking Salman Rushdie. This so-called person, according to the Professor, claimed to be affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran and couldve been a Mossad Operative.
The explanation by Hashemi drew outrage from various groups and individuals on social media, pointing out that information by investigators shows that Rushdies attacker had close ties to Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and its Shiite Lebanese terrorist proxy Hezbollah.
Hashemi then backed up his theory by blaming Israels opposition to the revival of the Iran nuclear agreement, prompting the interviewer Negar Mortazavi to say that hawkish influence inside Iran and Washington D.C. were also trying to sabotage diplomacy in several ways. In response to the statements made by the Professor, social media users on Twitter expressed their outrage against Hashemi and the University of Denver, arguing that the public institution was catering to the propaganda of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
