The UAE has re-iterated its demand for an end to what it describes as Iranian occupation of three disputed Gulf islands.
Speaking at the 67th session of the United Nationals General Assembly in New York, UAE foreign minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said that Iran’s presence on Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs was contrary to international law.
“We hope the Iranian government will deal with this sensitive and important issue in a positive and just manner in order to establish good neighbourly relations, build bridges of cooperation, preserve the common interests between our two countries, and strengthen security and stability in the region as a whole,” Sheikh Abdullah said.
Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs islands have been held by Iran since 1971, shortly before the seven Gulf emirates gained full independence from Britain and formed the UAE.
De Mr Hampson:
"Iran has remained in the spotlight due to its potential for energy supply disruption and conflict in that region of the world. Now, hyperinflation has taken hold, with monthly inflation up to 70%, in part due to the sanctions imposed on the country. Internal social unrest has begun, and is likely to escalate. Historic examples of hyperinflation correlate with subsequent war and social/political upheaval. Refuge is also sought in gold, and Iranian gold purchases have been escalating in line with the currency debasement.
Certainly, now inflation has escalated out of control in Iran, there isn’t going to be a way back, so it’s a question of how the social affects unfold from here."

Iran warns UAE over Gulf islands dispute: Tehran says it will consider cutting diplomatic ties if UAE presses claim to islands
Oman is considering building a facility to store up to 200 million barrels of crude safely outside the Strait of Hormuz, the head of a state-run oil investment company said on Wednesday.
The proposed facility would be larger than any other tank farm in the world. Working crude storage capacity at Cushing in the United States is around 62 million barrels.
Iran has repeatedly threatened to block the narrow shipping lanes between Oman and Iran through which over a third of all sea-borne traded oil is shipped each day, as tensions with the West over Tehran’s nuclear plans have intensified.
Threats to block Hormuz have already spurred the UAE to open a bypass pipeline across the desert to the Gulf of Oman port of Fujairah earlier this year, while Saudi Arabia has increased its capacity to export oil from its Red Sea Ports.
Oman is now studying whether there is still enough interest from oil producers and traders to merit building a storage complex on the Arabian Sea coast of south-east Oman.

"Iran’s Revolutionary Guards chief has drafted a plan to cause an environmental disaster in the Strait of Hormuz to block seaborne oil exports with the goal of removing economic sanctions imposed on Tehran, the weekly Der Spiegel"
"The aim is to block shipping temporarily through the contamination, to ‘punish’ adjacent Arab states that are hostile to Iran and to force the West to take part in a large-scale cleanup of the waters – and possibly thereby a suspension of sanctions against Tehran," Spiegel said.
