Iran reaffirms commitment to bilateral talks on Arash gas field 

SHANA (Tehran) - The spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry stated that Iran has consistently emphasized constructive cooperation with Kuwait in the energy sector, particularly regarding the Arash gas field and the joint exploitation of its resources, based on bilateral negotiations and past dialogue.  

On Tuesday, Esmaeil Bagheri rejected claims made in the final statement of the 64th meeting of Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) foreign ministers regarding the three Iranian islands of Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Bou Musa. 
He said Iran will take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and national interests in the territorial, maritime, and airspace domains of the three islands.  

Bagheri criticized PGCC members for repeating baseless claims about the islands, disregarding historical and geographical facts. He said such actions, while not undermining Iran’s absolute and effective sovereignty over the islands, violate international law principles respecting national sovereignty and territorial integrity.  

Regarding the Arash gas field mentioned in the PGCC statement, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson reiterated Iran’s commitment to constructive energy cooperation with Kuwait, stressing that mutual interests and shared benefits can foster stronger regional collaboration.
