The Iranian Foreign Ministry denounced the sections of a recent statement by the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) of Ministers regarding the three Iranian islands, Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, and the Arash oil and gas field.

In a phone conversation with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, Iran's foreign minister says that Tehran strongly rejects any claim by any party regarding its trio islands.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani rejected and condemned the inclusion of some baseless content in the 6th Russian-Arab Cooperation Forum statement regarding Iran’s trio islands.
