The Islamic Association of University Teachers in Iran strongly condemns the recent statement made by the European Union regarding the Iranian islands of Abu Mousa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb. They urge the EU leaders to rectify their stance on these historically Iranian territories without delay.
In response to the EU’s baseless claims in conjunction with certain Persian Gulf states, the academic organization criticizes the European Union for aligning with power-driven and self-serving policies. This alignment has the potential to disrupt regional unity, fuel conflicts, and destabilize international peace and security.
The three Persian Gulf islands have a long-standing historical connection to Iran, supported by evidence found in historical, legal, and geographical records. Iran has consistently refuted the UAE’s unfounded claims on these islands, asserting its legitimate sovereignty over them despite political maneuvers by other parties.
Iran has repeatedly warned against false narratives and political posturing aimed at undermining its rightful ownership of the islands. By standing firm on its historical and legal grounds, Iran seeks to uphold its sovereignty and safeguard regional stability amidst external pressures and divisive tactics.
