According to IRNA, Qasemi made the remarks in response to statement made by UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the 71st UN General Assembly meeting.

The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that what puts the region on the verge of catastrophe is the supportive policies for Takfiri terrorism, Qasemi said.

Noting that the three Persian Gulf Iranian islands are inseparable parts of the Iranian territory, he said that repetition of baseless claims cannot change the historical realities.

Underlining the need to adopt realistic and anti-terror policies by all the regional countries, the spokesman advised the UAE foreign minister to refrain from the repetition of illogical and baseless claims.
