IRNA has dismissed reports of a joint [P]GCC-Russia statement concerning the Iranian islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb.
Investigations by IRNA revealed that only one statement was issued after the 161st meeting of the [P]GCC foreign ministers in Riyadh.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson condemned clauses added to the final statement, describing them as repetitive and unconstructive.
Nasser Kanaani emphasized that the Iranian islands are inseparable parts of the country and any interference in Iran’s sovereign affairs is unacceptable.
