Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : It is still unclear whether Matar is an official agent of Iran -- but any reasonable observer can surmise he was inspired by and acting on the fatwa, and would then certainly classify it as a "state sponsored" attempted murder.
41% : "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," Tehran said in an official statement, according to NPR.
26% : When Saudi Arabia secretly murdered columnist Jamal Khashoggi, the media and politicians demanded radical changes in U.S. foreign policy; but even after Iran openly supported the attempted murder of author Salman Rushdie, the Biden administration is given a pass as it persists in negotiations with the Iranian regime.
21% :Iran is praising the attack, albeit denying involvement, NPR reported Iran sees the attack as justified.
