Iran Summons Chinese Ambassador Over UAE's Claims to Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb
Jun 2, 2024, 10:59 AM
Iran's Foreign Ministry has summoned the Chinese ambassador in Tehran to protest China's support for the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) claims over three Persian Gulf islands. The islands in question are Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb, which are controlled by Iran but claimed by the UAE. The protest was triggered by a joint statement from China and the UAE that reiterated the UAE's sovereignty claims over the islands. Iran's Foreign Ministry described China's support as 'baseless' and 'repeated,' highlighting the contentious nature of the territorial dispute. The islands are strategically located in the Strait of Hormuz, and the protest specifically referenced paragraph 26 of the China-UAE joint statement.
