The Islands Of Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb



After a courageous resistance by members of the Ras al-Khaimah Police Force in defiance of the sovereignty of the Emirates over the Islands which resulted in casualties on both sides of dead and wounded. The inhabitants of the Islands were expelled thus leaving behind their properties and possessions. Ever since this aggression, the United Arab Emirates has continuously used on numerous occasions various methods to denounce this aggression and seek the return of the Islands to its sovereignty.


Iran’s military occupation of the Islands of Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb since 29 November 1971 constitutes a flagrant violation of the principles and rules of international law, with total disregard for peaceful coexistence and good neighborly relations among nations and states.
These principles, enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, have become the foundations upon which the international relations are governed.


The international community has rejected the use of military force for the purpose of acquiring rights and privileges and a practice. It is also prohibited by the principles of international legitimacy embodied in the Hague Convention and the Charter.
It is also emphasized by the General Assembly resolution 2625 (XXV) of 1970, entitled “Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations,” and resolution 3314 (XXIX) of 1974, entitled “Definition of Aggressions. “ Such prohibition of the use of force has become one of the main principles of international law and of the basis of contemporary international relations

Abu Musa, Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb are for Iran. If you search in internet you can find many websites which talk about that. From Hakhamaneshi kingdom period of Iran and for ever the Islands will be for iran. You don't know nothing about history.
