Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has strongly condemned the inclusion of a clause in the joint statement of the US and UAE leaders on September 23, 2024 regarding the three Iranian islands of the Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb and Abu Mussa.

Kanaaani said the three islands of the Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb and Abu Mussa are inseparable parts of the Iranian territory and any statement by thrid parties in this respect are false and baseless.

He noted that the repetition of baseless claims by the United Arab Emirates about the three Iranian islands and the issuance of political statements by the Persian Gulf state with other sides are worthless, and will not change the legal status of these islands belonging to Iran and Iran's sovereignty over them.
