Arab IPU condemns Iran’s action as ‘provocative’

The Arab Inter-parliamentary Union (AIPU) condemned as “provocative” the recent visit by top Iranian officials to the UAE’s Abu Mousa Island. The pan-Arab organisation, in a press release, described last week’s visit as a flagrant violation of the UAE’s sovereignty over its three islands, the other two being Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb, and as a reason for tension in the Arabian Gulf region.
