The Iranian Regime also blasted the Queen’s actions:

“The United Kingdom has embarked on such an action because it imagines that it still enjoys a huge awe as a super power of the 19th century, thinking that the world still attaches importance to the titles granted by the British queen,” he continued.

“This is while all the world people, even Britons themselves, know very well that this country has now become a colony of the US administration,” the prominent lawmaker added.

There is a big protest planned for Friday in Pakistan over the Rushdie award.
