TEHRAN (IRNA) -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi here on Wednesday strongly refuted allegations made by the ruler of Abu Dhabi (UAE) about three Iranian islands.

Qashqavi said that claim raised by the ruler of Abu Dhabi on the three Iranian islands of the Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb and Abu Mousa in the Persian Gulf is a blatant interference in Iran's internal affairs and is strongly condemned.
The three islands are integral parts of Iran, he said and warned UAE officials not to be intimidated by those who are ill-wishers, stop repetition of such baseless allegations and instead try to help forge solidarity among regional countries as well as in the world of Islam
