On 3 October, Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated/aligned media) described Iranian leadership adviser Ali Akbar Velayati as insulting the UAE, which the channel called a diminutive state. It relayed wording asserting that Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa were Iranian and would remain Iranian, rejecting the UAE’s ownership claim at the United Nations.

“Ali Akbar Velayati insults the UAE mini-state: a state whose political existence does not exceed half a century claims from the United Nations platform ownership of islands documented in maps and historical records over centuries in Iran’s name. Geography does not change with a statement; Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa were Iranian and will remain Iranian.”
علي أكبر ولايتي يهين دويلة الإمارات: دولة لا يتجاوز عمر حياتها السياسية نصف قرن، تدّعي من منبر الأمم المتحدة ملكية جزر موثقة في الخرائط والوثائق التاريخية عبر القرون باسم إيران. الجغرافيا لا تتغيّر ببيان؛ طنب الكبرى وطنب الصغرى وأبو موسى كانت إيرانية وستبقى إيرانية.
