Actually UAE's point of view is that those islands belonged to the Emirate of Sharjah before the unification of the Emirates happened. And so it is part of UAE. Iran invaded it with military one day before the unification to hold the argument that "UAE is a newly established country which can not claim those islands" and quite frankly these are the same argument Israel holds "There were no palestenian state when Israel was founded" and we both agree this claim is false. Also the Iranian claim "these islands historically belonged to Iran from long time past" again Israel holds the same argument over Palestine "these are historically Jewish lands" .
Mosa,
Before 1971 nothing was there, UAE just came into being after a lighting struck from the sky and bang the Arab Emirates were formed with arabs and rulers and they all suddenly formed United Arab Emirates, all in one day.
