Mohammad Ali Abtahi as he holds a message from President Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al
Nahyan during an official meeting in Tehran, Monday, May 27, 2002. The dispute over
the Abu Musa and Greater and Lesser Tunb islands, which Iran took control in 1971
after British forces left the region, remains the main stumbling block to stronger
ties. In 1992, Iran declared sole soverignety over the islands, which dominate the
approach to the Strait of Hormuz.
