Q. Abu Musa, Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb islands, recently seen in news, are small disputed islands between which two countries?
Answer:
Iran and UAE
Notes: Recently, Iran summoned China's ambassador to protest a joint statement by China and the UAE about the sovereignty of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb islands. These disputed islands between Iran and UAE, located at the Strait of Hormuz entrance, were historically Persian but were occupied by Britain until 1971. Iran reclaimed them after British withdrawal, while the UAE asserts they belonged to Ras al-Khaimah before Iran's takeover.
