Local media reported that Tangsiri visited the units stationed on the Greater Tunb Island east of the Persian Gulf and that he checked the fortification conditions, engineering facilities, and civil defense and inspected the combat preparations on the island after Israeli media revealed the deployment of a radar system in the area.
Tangsiri indicated that "if anyone, for any reason, allows the presence of the child-murdering Zionist entity in the region, it will cause security instability for them and the region."
Furthermore, he sent a message to neighboring countries, saying, "We advise the brotherly and friendly countries in the Gulf region not to establish relations with the Zionist entity, because they undermine the security of the region."
After the visit of Israeli PM Naftali Bennett to the UAE two days ago, the Israeli Channel 12 revealed that an Israeli radar system had been deployed in several countries in the Middle East and the Gulf, without providing details of when it was deployed.
By deploying a radar system in several Arab countries, including Bahrain and the UAE, under the pretext of combating "Iranian threats", "Israel" looks forward to building a new strategic alliance in the Middle East. Security agreements have been underway, particularly between "Israel" and Saudi Arabia with Washington's blessings.
Gulf trio islands eternal part of Iran
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh stated that the three Gulf islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb will always be part of Iran's territory.
"Even an inch of the homeland’s territory is equal to all of Iran," Khatibzadeh wrote on his Twitter account last Sunday.
The Spokesperson stated on Twitter that the three islands represent the eternal territory of proud Iran in the center of the perpetual Gulf, and they are the apple of the country's eye.
On his Twitter account, Khatibzadeh gave thanks to ardent border guards who are fighting for every inch of this valuable area, noting that the three Gulf islands are inseparably linked to Iran.
Earlier, in a statement denouncing the GCC's remarks at the conclusion of their meeting accusing Iran of supporting "terrorism and posing maritime dangers," which the Spokesperson slammed as a "cliché attempt" to create conflicts in the area, Khatibzadeh stressed that the islands of Abu Musa, as well as the Lesser and Greater Tunbs, are inseparable parts of Iran and that any claims about these islands are fiercely condemned as interference in the country's internal affairs.
