As a country with over 2,500 years of documented history, Iran holds deep cultural and historical significance for millions of people. Your statement concerning Iran’s three islands has been perceived as disrespectful by nearly 2 million Iranian Canadians, who are among Canada’s most hardworking and productive citizens.
The last I checked, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, & Abu Musa islands in the Persian Gulf have been under the sovereignty of Iran since the time of the ancient Achaemenid Empire.
The UAE didn't even exisit until 1971!
Carney, sit your ass down about "occupation"!🤡

@behemoth_iran@MarkJCarney This has disrespected nearly 2 million Iranian Canadians, one of the most hardworking and contributing communities in Canada.

Mr. @MarkJCarney, Prime Minister of Canada,
As an Iranian-Canadian citizen and taxpayer who has lived in Canada for nearly three decades, I strongly condemn your government’s statement supporting the UAE’s territorial claims over Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb in the Persian Gulf.
On what historical evidence, international treaties, or legal authority does your government base this position? Who authorized Canada to take sides in a territorial dispute involving Iran? Did your government even examine Iran’s historical and legal evidence before issuing this statement?
Why is your government giving such prominence to territorial claims against Iran while the Iranian people’s suffering, executions, and decades of repression demand urgent attention? What concrete actions has Canada taken to hold those responsible for these atrocities accountable?
Were economic interests, UAE investments, or diplomatic agreements factors in your government’s decision? Canadians deserve transparency and answers.
Iran’s territorial integrity is not a bargaining chip for Canada’s economic or political interests. No foreign government has the right to treat Iranian territory as something it can give away through diplomatic declarations.
I demand that your government explain the legal basis for its statement and clarify why it chose to endorse the UAE’s claims.
Let me be absolutely clear: Neither you nor your government has any legal authority to transfer, alter, or determine Iran’s territorial sovereignty through a political declaration.
Iran’s territorial integrity is non-negotiable.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statement describing Iran’s sovereignty over Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa as an “occupation” is outrageous and deserves the strongest condemnation.
Iran’s presence and authority in the Persian Gulf go back more than 2,500 years, to the Achaemenid Empire. Historical records and maps, including British maps from 1886 and 1892, provide evidence of Iran’s historical ownership of these islands—long before the United Arab Emirates even existed.
The UAE was established on December 2, 1971. Iran’s history and territorial rights cannot simply be rewritten to accommodate today’s political or economic interests.
And let me be absolutely clear: Iran is not the Islamic Republic regime. Iran’s territorial integrity belongs to the Iranian nation, not to any government or political system. It is not up for negotiation.
As an Iranian, I find Prime Minister Carney’s statement historically irresponsible, deeply offensive, and utterly unacceptable.
@MarkJCarney
Why do Iranians believe that the Islamic regime is behind the chemical attacks on the school girls?
Please listen to my interview with @bbcworldservice and be the voice of more 1000 innocent students who are being hospitalized.

“I can’t breathe”
“I can’t breathe”
crying schoolgirl is repeating this after being the target of chemical attack in her school in Tehran. If this was in the US or in Europe, what would have been the reaction of the world? We need the same support.
Islamic Republic is using terror, tactic to drive girls out of streets and prevent them from removing their hijab and protesting against Islamic republic.
I call on college and university students in the west to be your voice.
