Power
The management of the territory of the island of Iran is disputed by the UAE. [23] [24] [25] The dispute over the ownership of Abu Musa has been ongoing since 1974. The island has been under Iranian control since the beginning of the 20th century . [26] In 1906, an iron oxide deposit on the island was ceded to the German company Vinkhaus. In 1907, the island was returned to Iran at the insistence of the British Empire, resulting in an international incident. [27] It has been under British control since 1908.
In 1960, she transferred control of the island to the emirate of Sharjah (now part of the UAE), occupied by her. In 1968, she announced the return of Abu Musa to Iran. On November 30, 1971, Iran and Sharjah signed a treaty of understanding. Based on the agreement, Sharjah could keep a police station on the island, and Iran - the troops. [8] Two sides could also extract minerals on the island.
By signing the pact, the small emirate (Sharjah) prevented the invasion (on Abu Musa) of Iran, which two days earlier occupied two other disputed islands - Big and Small Tomb, which were even smaller (Abu Musa) and uninhabited.
Original textBy agreeing to the pact, the tiny emirate prevented an invasion by Iran, which two days earlier had taken two other disputed islands, Greater and Lesser Tunb, which were even smaller and uninhabited.
The day before this, Great Britain officially left the island. Iran deployed its troops there and this was approved by the brother of Sheikh Sharjah, Sheikh Sagar. [28]
In 1971, the UAE submitted a claim to the United Nations for the management of the island, but it was rejected by the UN Security Council [29] [30] .
In 2012, the arrival of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the island provoked the recall of the UAE ambassador, Safe Al-Zaabi . [31]
