Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei condemned Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's support for the United Arab Emirates' claim over three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. Baqaei called the position a blatant contradiction and a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, according to IRNA. IRNA is the only outlet reporting the statement, and no Canadian response was included in the report. The dispute over the islands remains a long-running point of tension between Iran and the UAE.
