What will happen next in Iran war? Suspense regarding this has deepened all over the world. President Donald Trump has given a signal of control on Kharg and Hormuz Strait. For this, America has also deployed additional troops in the Middle East, but looking at Trump's old records, it is being said that America has something else in mind regarding Iran. Meanwhile, everyone's eyes are on those 3 islands of Iran, which are near Hormuz. The names of these three islands are – Abu Musa, the Greater and Leisure Tombs.
combined on all three islands Arab Emirates has been claiming. It is being said that by occupying these three islands, America is trying to create chaos in Hormuz.
These three islands located in the Persian Gulf are between UAE and Iran. UAE has been claiming these islands, but currently they are under the control of Iran. Abu Musa Island is just 59 kilometers away from Sharjah of UAE, while its distance is 70 kilometers from Bandar Abbas of Iran. To leave the Persian Gulf, any tanker has to pass through Abu Musa. Because, it is situated at the mouth of Hormuz.
Similarly, there are 2 more small islands around it. Which is close to UAE in the Persian Gulf. The dispute over Abu Musa Island has reached the UN, but it could not be taken under Iran's control. During the Iran-Iraq war, Saddam Hussein tried his best to snatch it from Tehran, but failed.
According to Trita Parsi of Quincy Institute, America is preparing to take all three islands quietly. Pro-Israel and prominent Emirati accounts in the US have publicly pushed the idea. America wants to do two things simultaneously through this.
Parsi says that if America takes possession of these islands then bargaining can become easier. Iran will understand that in the coming time its control over Hormuz may be lost.
America's second attempt is to please UAE by occupying these three islands. Because, in the war, Iran has attacked UAE the most. At least 2000 attacks have been carried out on UAE in a month.
According to the Associated Press, the UAE has urged America to fight the war until Iran becomes weak. UAE wants that the Persian Gulf should not be dominated only by Iran. For this, these three islands are very important.
