Cairo, Nov 20 (IANS/WAM) The Arab Foreign Ministers have condemned the continuation of the Iranian occupation of the three UAE islands -- Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Musa -- in a resolution at the end of an emergency meeting here to discuss Tehran's intervention in the Arab countries' affairs.

The resolution on Sunday expressed support for peaceful measures and means the United Arab Emirates may take to restore sovereignty over its occupied islands as per international law.

The emergency Arab Foreign Ministers' meeting was convened at the request of Saudi Arabia with support from the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait to discuss means of confronting Iranian intervention.

The ministers also condemned Iran's continuing aggression and intervention in the Arab countries which they said fed sectarian conflicts.
