Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast condemned the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) statement on a disputed island in the Persian Gulf and called it a "blatant interference in the Islamic republic of Iran's internal affairs," the semi-official Mehr news agency reported on Thursday.

On Tuesday, foreign ministers of the six GCC states gathered in Doha for an emergency meeting on Iran. The GCC condemned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinedjad's recent trip to the disputed island of Abu Musa in the gulf as "provocative" and called on Tehran to end the "occupation" through negotiations with Abu Dhabi.

Mehmanparast said Wednesday that Iran's sovereignty over the three Persian Gulf islands of Abu Musa, and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs is not negotiable.

Iran insists that historical documents have proven that Abu Musa, as well as neighboring islands Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb belong to Iran.

The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) recalled its ambassador to Iran last Thursday and called Iran's actions on Abu Musa a "risk for international peace and security."
