Iran FM: The three islands have always belonged to Iran and will forever remain as such

Era of European malign divide rule interference in our region is long over.

:Message from Araghchi on X
EU-GCC Summit Joint Statement on Iran carries many messages.

To us, it is becoming clear that path of respectful cooperation we offered in several meetings, including in New York, is being met with European desire for confrontation—including via absurd accusation that Iran is engaged in "occupation".

The three islands have always belonged to Iran, and will forever remain as such.

Era of European malign 'divide & rule' interference in our region is long over.
