Following the Arab League's baseless claims against Iran, Amir Said Irwani, the ambassador and permanent representative of the Islamic Republic to the United Nations, sent a letter to the Security Council.

In this letter it is stated that "Iran once again emphasizes its undisputed sovereignty over the Iranian islands of Abu Musa, Great Tanev and Little Tanev in the Persian Gulf". 

Iran also strongly condemns the use of a fictitious name for the Persian Gulf in paragraphs 11 and 16 of the aforementioned statement and considers it unacceptable.
