Iranian hard-line organizations tend to make symbolic gestures involving the Rushdie fatwa every year around its anniversary, Feb. 14. Whether the bounty really would be paid is unclear. Many news organizations in Iran do not turn a profit, and some are subsidized by state organizations.

这些伊朗强硬组织每年2月14日都会就刺杀拉什迪的法特瓦做出象征性姿态。赏金是否会真正被支付，目前尚不明确。伊朗的很多资讯组织都不盈利，有些出版物是由国家机构补贴的。

The announcement highlights the continuing political infighting in Iran as elections approach for Parliament and the Assembly of Experts, a council that would choose the next supreme leader. The government of President Hassan Rouhani has promised to improve relations with the West, while his hard-line opponents have campaigned against any opening. Analysts said the hard-liners may have been seeking an electoral edge by raising the Rushdie matter now.

这项声明表明，随着议会及“专家会议”选举(Assembly of Experts)的临近，伊朗内部的政治斗争仍在继续——“专家会议”是负责挑选下任最高领导人的组织。哈桑·鲁哈尼( Hassan Rouhani)政府承诺改善与西方的关系，而他的强硬派反对者们则反对任何开放政策。分析师们称，通过提高拉什迪一事的悬赏金额，这些强硬分子可能是希望在选举中谋求好处。
