Iran rejects Rice claim it is inflaming cartoons row
An Iranian vice-president today rejected a US contention that his country was fanning Muslim anger over the Prophet Mohammed cartoons, while a newspaper in Malaysia faced closure for printing one of the images.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in Washington that “Iran and Syria have gone out of their way to inflame sentiments” that have produced violent protests across the Muslim world against publication of the caricatures.
