GCC condemns Iranian settlements on occupied UAE islands
The GCC Ministerial Council has condemned the Iranian government's continued construction of residential facilities to settle Iranians on three UAE islands.
In a statement issued today, the Council affirmed its firm positions and previous decisions regarding the condemnation of Iran's continued occupation of the three islands (Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa) belonging to UAE.
"Any decisions, practices, or actions taken by Iran on the three islands are null and void and do not change anything of the historical and legal facts that unanimously support the right of sovereignty of the United Arab Emirates over its three islands," the statement said.
