United Arab Emirates Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash slammed on Monday Iran for its ongoing occupation of its Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Musa islands.

In a series of tweets, he said that the occupation is indicative of its policy in the Arab Gulf region.

“Tehran is embarrassing itself at every international forum because its occupation remains illegal, illegitimate and unrecognized,” he added, saying that the UAE is seeking a peaceful resolution of this issue through dialogue.

Moreover, Gargash remarked that Iran’s policy of “occupation and use of force does not lead to international legitimacy.”

These lizard munchers need to remember their entire state is an artificial creation by the British. They're blabbering about a great historical nation "occupying" Islands.

Anyway, let's see these camel jockeys try and do anything about it.

There was no UAE at the time when Shah took these islands.

30 November 1971 and guess who welcomed the move

by the way I wonder why not call the Island with its Persian name which is "Boum-Sou"/"Boum-Souw" or Gap-Sabzou which is translated to Green-Land
