TEHRAN, Aug. 30 (MNA) – Foreign ministry spokesperson has condemned interventionist remarks by Arab League secretary-general on UAE claims on Iranian three islands in the Persian Gulf.

Bahram Ghasemi recommended Ahmed Aboul-Gheit to study history and geography of the Middle East to find a better understanding of the realities; “such interventionist remarks and historically inaccurate claims will not change any reality, historically, geographically, and legally,” Mr. Ghasemi objected.

“Three islands are integrated parts of Iran’s territory, and the claims by UAE would not weaken any historical and cultural affinities and spiritual attachment of three islands to mother mainland,” he added.
