Iran to construct 110 residential units on Abu Musa Island
Arsalan Maleki said that Abu Musa, as well as the Greater and Lesser Tunbs, are an integral part of Iran, asserting that construction activities on the trio islands is fully permissible under Iranian law, IRNA reported.
The directive for constructing 110 units has been issued to the relevant authorities and organizations, and the construction operations will soon begin, he said.
According to Maleki, the allocation process of the housing units will prioritize the island’s current residents, but other interested individuals from across the country can also apply for housing on Abu Musa Island.
Abu Musa Island, located in the Persian Gulf, has strategic importance due to its location and potential resources despite its small size.
Over the years, Iran has faced territorial disputes with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over the sovereignty of the trio islands, with the West and some Arab states taking sides with the UAE.
