''We are not immune from what is happening around us as we keep pace with all the new developments. What was done by Iran recently was a demonstration of muscles and provocation when the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the UAE's occupied Island of Abu Mousa, under Iranian occupation since 1971. It is a clear violation of the understandings that have been reached between the two countries to find a peaceful solution to the issue of Iran's occupation of the three UAE islands; the Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Musa. The move is also incompatible with the principles of good neighborliness.`` The Deputy Chief of Staff of UAE Armed Forces did not hide the UAE and the GCC and international increasing concerns toward Iran's provocative positions to the UAE peaceful stance to resolve this issue, and toward growing Iranian nuclear programme, and fears from leading the region into a nuclear arms race. He added that these concerns are based mainly on keeping the region away from any form of nuclear arms, stressing that the continuation of Iran's nuclear programme will lead to an imbalance in the security system in the region. ''Iran's possession of this weapon would be tense as it insists on the occupation of the three UAE islands and considers the issue an internal affair, despite the fact that the occupation of the three Islands has been one of the issues on the agenda of the GCC, Arab and Muslim Summits. The international support to the right of the UAE in the islands, its efforts and position to resolve this issue peacefully have been exhibited by the international community.`` Staff Major General Al Mazrouei underscored that the joint GCC Security is a strategic option to the GCC and sole option to safeguard the security and stability of the GCC states at collective and individual levels. ''Any aggression on any GCC state is aggression on all the GCC states. The GCC security is inseparable``, he said, citing the deployment of the Peninsula Shield Forces in the Kingdom of Bahrain to ensure security and stability.
