Iran's Foreign Ministry has summoned China's ambassador in Tehran on June 2 to protest Beijing's support for the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) claims to three disputed islands in the Persian Gulf. The islands in question are Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb, which are controlled by Iran but claimed by the UAE. Iran's action follows a joint statement by China and the UAE, which reiterated UAE's sovereignty claims over the islands, specifically mentioned in paragraph 26 of the final statement. The Iranian government described China's stance as 'baseless' and 'unconstructive,' and warned of a serious response, including reconsideration of Iran's stance on Taiwan. Despite Tehran's objections, China has maintained its position and called for a peaceful resolution through dialogue and consultation. Nour News, which is affiliated with Iran's security apparatus, highlighted the potential for a serious response.
