"The three islands of Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb are integral and eternal parts of the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The inclusion of these islands in the final statement of the aforementioned meeting holds no political or legal significance," Kanaani said
Kanani unequivocally rejected the mention of the three Iranian islands in the statement and deemed it inconsistent with international law principles, such as non-interference in internal affairs and respect for the territorial integrity of nations.
