UAE criticises Ahmadinejad visit to disputed Gulf island | Reuters

(Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates criticised Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit on Wednesday to a Persian Gulf island claimed by both countries since the 1970s.

"His visit ... is a flagrant violation of the United Arab Emirates' sovereignty over its territory and a transgression of efforts to find a peaceful settlement to end Iranian occupation of the three UAE islands," said Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan, cited by state news agency WAM.

The Iranian state news agency IRNA said Ahmadinejad visited Abu Musa island on Wednesday as part of a tour of Iran's Gulf coast, but did not refer to the territorial dispute.

Both countries claim Abu Musa and two other small islands, located near key shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Gulf.

The islands have been held by Iran since 1971, shortly before the seven Gulf emirates gained full independence from Britain and formed the UAE.

The UAE has urged Tehran to agree to take the dispute to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Iran says its sovereignty over the islands is not negotiable but has called for talks with the UAE to clear up "misunderstandings".

Let's station a few hundred short range missiles in these islands, see if they're still gonna talk crap. One missile in the middle of dubai, and the party will be over. Lights out. Bye bye. Khalas.

Honestly, what are these clowns thinking? Don't they realize that their country runs on foreign investment, tourism etc...? A war will stop ALL foreign investment. But they still keep pushing our buttons. All the jets in the world won't stop missiles falling down on downtown dubai by the tens of thousands.

The Iranian President, visited an Iranian island.

What is the big deal?

 

[Hack-Hook]

those short range missile even don't need to be stationed in those Island ,we can put them inside our southern provinces and they can easily reach UAE.

UAE are a joke who cares what they say. they take dictation from Americans. They just look after American oil and get a commision for it.

In the absence of external assistance from third parties its leaders would bow to the President of Iran.

Saddam claimed one of his dirty goals to start the war with Iran was 'liberating' the islands.But he was kicked in the a$$ so bad that he requested a ceasefire after 2 years in to the war.

In Order to prevent this happening, Arabs need imperialism, military or economic.

Shows how much they are dedicated for their country and using it's resources for the best of the nation and the citizens, unlike other countries.

UAE is a little country and should stay in its place rather than trying to become another Qatar.
