Iran! Cease the occupation of Abu Musa!

Iran sends letter to UN over 3 Persian Gulf islands

(IRNA) Iran has sent a letter to the United Nations about its ownership of the three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf region, a senior Foreign Ministry official said on Monday.

Speaking to reporters at his weekly press conference, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Mohammad-Ali Hosseini, announced the above while commenting on a recent claim (1) of the United Arab Emirates officials over the three islands of the Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb and Abu Mousa.

"Relaying on historical documents, Iran has always given a documented, firm and logical response to those claims," Hosseini said. (2)

He stressed that any claim over the three Iranian islands "lacks logical, historical and geographical bases." (3)

(1) The UAE claim is not "recent", but dates back at least FOUR decades!

(2) Historical documents prove, without any shade of doubt, that the Islands belong to the UAE!

(3) Blatant lies! A document from the British Foreign Office, dated October 30, 1968, clearly states that the islands belong to the UAE and that the Shah was made aware of it!
