The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Moscow issued a statement in response to a statement from Jaysem Mohamed Albudaiwi, executive director of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) at the Sochi Summit.
The text of the Iranian Embassy statement is as follows:
“In Allah’s name, the most elegant and most merciful.”
In response to these repeated false claims regarding the holding of the 8th Joint Ministerial Conference of the Strategic Dialogue between the PGCC and the Russian Federation held on Thursday in Sochi on September 11, 2025, and the holding of the baseless and legally invalid statement by PGCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Iran Moscow is:
1. The three islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tamb and fewer chinks are considered inseparable parts of Iranian territory, and the Islamic Republic of Iran has legal and historical sovereignty over them. The issue of the three islands is related to the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, the Islamic Republic of Iran considers such claims to be interfering with its internal affairs and rejects them.
2. The repetition of the unfounded claims of the United Arab Emirates by the PGCC SG regarding the three islands of the Islamic Republic of Iran does not give legal validity to the rejected UAE claims and does not interfere with the uncontroversial legal status of the Islamic Republic of the Islamic Republic of the three chinkle islands of Abu.
3. Therefore, by refusing to intervene in the above statements and false statements, it is emphasized that the lawsuit by the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the island under its sovereignty is considered a legitimate action regarding the integrity of the country’s territory and territorial entities, and that the Islamic Republic of Iran refuses to interfere.
