From the early 18th century some European countries, tried to dominate on Strait of Hormuz, and southern rim of the Persian Gulf. Great Britain imposed its guardianship system, by taking appropriate policy and exercising military power. In January 1968, Britain announced its decision to withdraw from Persian Gulf in 1971 and constituting a federation consist of Bahrain, Qatar and Trucial Emirates. Iran knowing itself the owner of Bahrain, could get back the Tunbs and Abu Musa islands , in return for recognizing independence of Bahrain and constituting of United Arab Emirates. Iraq, Libya, South Yemen and the UAE complained against Iran to the UNSC. By recommendation of an Arab country, the SC terminated the subject, so Iran’s sovereignty is taking proceeding so long, and its ownership is certain. KEY WORDS: Persian Gulf, Tunbs and Abu Musa Islands, Iran, UAE INTRODUCTION In 2005, the National Geographic Society and in 2012, the Google site, published fictitious names for Persian Gulf and some Iranian islands.

  • The Persian Gulf in the Light of Law of the Sea
    Prawo Morskie 2016, t. XXXII ISSN 0860-7338 DARIUSZ R. BUGAJSKI* THE PERSIAN GULF IN THE LIGHT OF LAW OF THE SEA INTRODUCTION The Persian Gulf or the Arabian Gulf (the name mainly used by the Arab nations)1 is a mediterranean semienclosed shallow sea which is a part of the Indi- an Ocean. Similarly to the Baltic Sea it is geologically very young, formed around 15,000 years ago. The Gulf is connected by the Strait of Hormuz with the Gulf of Oman and the large Arabian Sea. Eight states border the Gulf: Bahrain (the only insular state), Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The maximum width of the Persian Gulf is 338 km, and the length to its northern coast is nominally almost 1000 km. The surface area of the Gulf is approximately 251,000 km2, a mean depth of 50 m and maximum 90 m. Deeper * Captain Dariusz R. Bugajski, PhD, D.Sc., Vice-Rector for Education, Polish Naval Academy. He is specialized in international law, international security law and law of the sea, as well as inter- national humanitarian law, strategy and history. 1 The name “Persian Gulf” is historical and probably came into use at the time of Darius I (522–486 B.C.). In possibly every map printed before 1960 and in most modern international trea- ties, documents and maps, this body of water is known under the name “Persian Gulf”, reflecting traditional usage since the Greek geographers Strabo and Ptolemy, and the geopolitical realities of the time with the powerful Persian.

  • The Lessons of Modern
    IX. Phase Six: Expansion of the tanker war in the Gulf to include Western navies, while the land and air war of attrition continues: MARCH 1987 to DECEMBER 1987 9.0 The Increasing Importance of the War at Sea Important as the fighting around Basra was in shaping the future of the land war, developments in the Gulf were leading to a new major new phase of the war. January involved more Iraqi and Iranian attacks on Gulf targets than any previous month in the conflict. Iraq struck at Kharg Island, Iran's transloading facilities at Sirri, and Iran's shuttle tankers and oil facilities. These strikes did not make major cuts in Iran's oil exports, but they did force Iran sent another purchasing mission to Greece, London, and Norway to buy 15 more tankers. Iraqi aircraft continued to strike at tankers and the Iranian oil fields. They hit Iran's Cyrus and Norouz fields in late March and April, as well as the Ardeshir oil field, and they continued attacks on Iranian shipping to Sirri. Nevertheless, Iraq still did not score the kind of successes it had scored against Kharg and Iraq's tanker shuttle the previous year. Iran's exports remained relatively high.

  • Iran and the Gulf States
    Iran and the Gulf States Afshin Molavi • The Persian Gulf states hold some two-thirds of the world’s proven oil reserves. Saudi Arabia is the largest Gulf oil producer, Iran a distant second. • Iran’s population of 80.8 million is larger than the seven other Gulf states combined. • A large population of Iranian nationals lives in the emirate of Dubai, Iran’s most important regional trade partner. Smaller populations live and work in Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. • After World War II, Gulf geopolitics were dominated for five decades by a triangular balance of power among Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Beginning in the early 1990s, the Iraq corner of the triangle began to weaken, and Iran exploited this weakness by developing broad political, economic, social, and militia networks that deeply influenced the Iraqi state. • The region has experienced three “Gulf wars”: the Iran-Iraq War of 1980- 1988 fought to a brutal stalemate, the successful 1991 U.S.-led coalition to roll back Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, and the 2003 U.S.-led war to remove Saddam Hussein from power. The 2003 war created an opening for Iran to expand its regional influence. • By 2015, the traditional post-World War II balance of power no longer existed. It was replaced by robust Saudi-Iranian competition across the Middle East, most notably in Syria and Lebanon, but also in Yemen, Iraq, and Bahrain. The Saudi-Iran conflict is colored by sectarianism and Persian- Arab rivalry, though not driven by it. More traditional geopolitical concerns prevail. • Persian Iran is the only non-Arab country in the Gulf region.

  • Introduction
    Introduction This book is about the three Gulf1 islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb, and the public international law aspects of the dispute between the Is- lamic Republic of Iran and the United Arab Emirates over whose claim of sov- ereignty to the islands is superior. Although the controversy over ownership of the three islands has often been framed by the disputing parties, as well as some analysts and commentators, as if the historical and legal considerations relevant to resolving the claims over one of the islands are equally applicable to the other two, this is not entirely accurate. In particular, the history of Abu Musa, and the features of that history, including possession, assertions of own- ership and acts of administration taken with respect to the island which are relevant to assessing the claims of title asserted by the two parties, differ in cer- tain significant ways from the relevant history of the two Tunbs islands. These distinctions are most evident in the period prior to the late nineteenth century, when it first became clear that ownership of all three islands was contested, but they also sporadically appeared thereafter. These differences will be noted where relevant and taken into account in analyzing the respective claims by the parties in the chapters which follow. Other than the historical differences which preceded the outbreak of the dispute over title to Abu Musa, as compared to the Tunbs, another distinguish- ing factor in analyzing the rights of the parties over that island as compared to the Tunbs is that, during a moment of particular tension in the dispute in November 1971, the parties entered into an agreement, designated a “Memo- randum of Understanding” (mou), setting out certain jurisdictional and other rights allocated to each of them on and in relation to the island of Abu Musa.

  • Border Disputes on the Arabian Peninsula | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 525 Border Disputes on the Arabian Peninsula Mar 15, 2001 Brief Analysis he International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to rule tomorrow on the longstanding border dispute between two T Persian Gulf sheikdoms, Qatar and Bahrain. This dispute has preoccupied the ruling families in both countries for decades. It and the much better known IraqKuwait border dispute (not detailed here) are hardly the only ones on the Arabian Peninsula. Indeed, almost every country on the peninsula has or until very recently, has experienced a disagreement over border demarcation. Qatar and BahrainWith the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) unable to resolve the territorial dispute between Qatar and Bahrain, Qatar unilaterally referred the case to the ICJ in 1991. Both Qatar and Bahrain claim sovereignty over the potentially oil rich Hawar islands (controlled by Bahrain since the 1930's), the town of Zubarah on the mainland (currently controlled by Qatar), the island of Janan, and a series of uninhabitable reefs important for establishing the baseline for the maritime boundary. Bahrain claims that despite the proximity of the territory to Qatar, sustained Bahraini presence on the Hawar islands carries greater legitimacy for its own claims to sovereignty. The dispute dates back more than a century when the current Bahraini ruling family controlled much of what is now western Qatar. The dispute reached its climax in 1986 when armed conflict was avoided only with Saudi intervention. Bahrain is adamant over its claim to this territory and has been noncommittal about whether it will accept the ruling of the court. In December 1999, a joint committee, co-chaired by the crown princes of the two countries, was established in a bilateral attempt to resolve the dispute.
