you're insane
"The claim by U.A.E however is not recognized internationally as at the time Iran and Britain agreed on the fate of the three Islands, the U.A.E was just in the midst of being formed as a result of British withdrawal from the area and therefore could not lay claim on any territory as it was not yet an official state."
Before the 1900's the islands were PART OF IRAN and the Brits took them from us. After they decided to leave THEY HANDED THEM BACK TO IRAN. You guys weren't even a country. A bunch of pearl divers who didn't even have a country a few decades ago are now barking for our islands. lmao bark for a thousand years and see if you get anywhere. Over the dead body of 80 million nationalist Iranians will you see those 3 islands. Waste your time on smtg else
The Qawasim (Plural for Qasimi - a ruling tribe-) were ruling the emirate since as early as beginning of 18th century (as per written records at least), their emirate included some southern parts of present day Iran and some Islands (including Bander Lengah and the disputed Islands as well) and what is today emirate of Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah ( if my memory is correct).
They had been known to have a big sea fleet along with the Omanis and they used to attack the ships of the to be colonizers (British, Portuguese) who came to the region to take over it, and they (the Europeans) started to call the sea fleet of the Qawasim as "Pirates" in revenge for the repeated defeats at their hands and after a severe Naval battles the compete fleet of Qawasim was destroyed.
You are true their was no country before 1970s called UAE, but there were individual Arab emirates existing as "Emirates" since as early as early 18th century ( as per written records at least) which are now the base of what is UAE.
It is sad how strong the qawasims were in the southern shore of the Arabian Gulf and how they have ended up just in the emirate of Sharjah and Ras Al Khamah (within UAE boundaries). The great great grandfather of the current ruler of Ras Al Khaimah and the great Grandfather of the Current ruler of Sharjah were brothers and during their time it was being ruled as one big emirate by their father and the emirate got split later on and as they say in unity their is strength, after the emirate was split they lost control of the part of the emirate which was in the southern parts of Iran.
All the three disputed islands are related to the the Qasimis (Abu Musa realted to the Qasimis of Sharjah, Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb related to the Qasimis of Ras Al Khaimah)
Do you want more info regarding the history of the Qawasim?
