"Iran ready for talks with UAE on Abu Mousa"

From the official Iranian news agency:
"Iran is ready to hold face-to-face talks with its brothers from the UAE on the misunderstanding about Abu Mousa island," Hosseini [Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman] stressed.

He said that Tehran would "seize any opportunity to remove misunderstanding."

What exactly is the misunderstanding? Iran stole Abu Musa and the two Tunbs from Sharjah in 1971 and slaughtered 20 police officers.

Minus Iraq, Iranian government believes they can bully around the GCC. Quite honestly, am a bit anxious how this might turn out, and repercussions if any. Honestly do not believe, Iranians shall hand over Abu Mousa.
