Persian Gulf Trio Islands Eternal Part of Iran: Spokesman
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry refuted a clause in the declaration of the 33rd Arab Summit which has questioned Iran’s sovereignty over the three Persian Gulf islands, describing them as an inseparable and eternal part of the Iranian territory.
In a statement on Thursday night, Nasser Kanaani condemned the unacceptable clause in the declaration of the 33rd session of the Council of the League of Arab States in Bahrain concerning the three Persian Gulf Islands of the Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa.
He reiterated that the three islands would remain an inseparable, eternal and sovereign part of the Iranian soil forever, dismissing any “baseless claims” in this regard.
The spokesman, however, welcomed those clauses in the declaration of the Arab summit which have supported the Palestinian people and condemned the Israeli regime’s war crimes in Gaza, stressing the need for closer Muslim unity to stop the Zionist regime’s atrocities.
The islands of the Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa have historically been part of Iran, proof of which can be found and corroborated by countless historical, legal, and geographical documents in Iran and other parts of the world.
