"Members of the Majlis (Parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission will visit the Persian Gulf islands on April 24," Mansour Haqiqatpour said.

Vice-Chairman of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission added that during the two-day visit, the delegation would examine the security-political situation of the three islands and hold meetings with the local political authorities.

Last month, the Iranian Foreign Ministry lashed out at the Arab League for its interfering statement on the three Iranian islands of Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb and the Lesser Tunb.

At the 24th Arab League summit in the Qatari capital of Doha in March, Arab League Deputy Secretary General Ahmed Ben Helli read a statement advocating the unfounded claims laid by the United Arab Emirates about the three Iranian islands.

The United Arab Emirates has repeatedly made baseless claims about the islands of Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa.

In a statement issued by the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee on February 19, Iranian lawmakers said, “Iran has always pursued the policy of friendship and good neighborliness with all its neighboring states and welcomes bilateral talks with the UAE government to explore ways to expand relations and resolve the current misunderstandings.”

Domestic and international historical, legal, and geographical documents prove that the islands of the Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa have historically been part of Iran.

The islands temporarily fell under British control in the 1800s but were returned to Iran on November 30, 1971, through a legal procedure that preceded the establishment of the United Arab Emirates as an independent state.

Under international law, no state can defy any agreement, which came into being before its establishment.
