To understand thisIslandsFor the causes of the controversy, we need to look back at the history of the UAE. During the British colonial period, the British occupied the UAE region.

Eventually, after the creation of the UAE, Britain finally withdrew its troops, but Iran took the opportunity to occupy all three two days ahead of scheduleIslands。Despite the UAE's statements, the UAE is reluctant to clash with Iran because of Iran's military power and the importance of oil transportation in the Middle East, and it does not get itInternationalStrong support from society.

This dispute between Iran and Russia will inevitably attract the attention of the United States. For the United States, Iran's close ties with Islamic countries have always been the focus of its attention, and Iran's ties with Russia have aroused alarm in the United States. The United States may use this dispute to further sow discord between Iran and Russia in order to achieve its strategic goals in the Middle East.
In general, both of Russia's disputes with Iran involve sensitive territorial sovereignty issues, and the geographical locations involved are also strategically important. However, the controversy may ultimately be a superficial phenomenon and will not have a substantial impact on Russian-Iranian relations. It is likely that Russia will take a position of "peace and mud" in order to preserve relations with Iran and shy away from further confrontation with Western countries.
