“As an Iranian not the Navy chief, I have to say the officials of UAE are not qualified to talk about the three Iranian islands in Persian Gulf.” Iran’s Navy Commander Admiral Habibollah Sayari said.
Previously Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened other countries on military attack on Iran by saying in Army Day: “Now we have one of the most powerful armies in all over the world. They will retaliate any minimal attack on Iran.”
Disputes between Iran and Emirates over Abu Musa island have been increased after the recent visit of Ahmadinejad to Abu Musa.
