abu musa

Abu Musa (in Persian ابوموسی) is an Iranian island in the Persian Gulf. It is called by the local inhabitants گپ‌سبزو Gap-sabzu which in Persian means "the Great Green place". The name Abu Musa is attested in older sources as Bum-i Musa or Bumuf. The first one means "the land of Musa" in Persian. Abu Musa is one of the strategic islands of Iran in the Persian Gulf. During the era of the Pahlavi dynasty, Iran had to reinforce its position on this Iranian island to avert the encroachment of the foregin elements there.
