The spokesman of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Bagai, confirmed again: Abu Musa, the Great Tanev and the Little Tanev are integral and permanent parts of Iran. Repeated territorial claims will not change the historical, geographic or legal reality. Canada's support for the UAE's territorial claims is short-sighted and contrary to the UN Charter and international law. The United Arab Emirates must respect the principle of good neighborliness instead of repeatedly raising territorial claims against Iran.
