With iran's star dwindling after more than 30 years of the IRR, the UAE has a chance of getting the UN to change the status of the islands. <br />In a perfect world, the inhabitated island should have the right for self determination regardless of which country has colonial claim on it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665812073292288344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-47110875919331801752012-04-17T18:16:22.957-04:002012-04-17T18:16:22.957-04:00@Leopersica

The fact is that the transfer of control of the three islands to Iran was part of a larger settlement that included the Iranian recognition of the independence of Bahrain. The settlement was agreed upon by Britain, Iran, Bahrain, and the predecessor of the UAE. If one part of the settlement is questioned, i.e. Iranian control of the three islands, then the other part, i.e. Bahrain’s independence from Iran, should also be revisited.Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-57379384099990886832012-04-17T08:42:35.211-04:002012-04-17T08:42:35.211-04:00Compare and contrast this arising situation with t...Compare and contrast this arising situation with the 'Islas Malvinas/Falkland islands' dispute - if England can claim ownership of colonized land that lies 8000 miles (12,700km) away, but which actually is part of the South American continental shelf, then surely Iran must be able to make a rightful case for retaining a few tiny islands in its vicinity: the Abu Musa and Greater & Lesser tunb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
