TEHRAN The London-based Arabic-language daily ****Asharq al-Awsat**** wrote on Tuesday that the objection made by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to a security agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia is unjustifiable.
The daily's editorial further said that it is not right to relate all regional relations and the Persian Gulf issues only to the three islands in the Persian Gulf.
The daily criticized the UAE's objection to the security agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, adding that the signing of this agreement is the second major achievement in Tehran-Riyadh relations.
