Iran Stations New Missile Systems on Contested Gulf Islands Amid Rising Tensions
Iran has deployed advanced missile systems on the strategically significant Gulf islands of Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa, escalating regional tensions. The move reinforces Tehran’s military presence in the disputed territory, which has long been a point of contention between Iran and neighboring Gulf states.
The deployment comes amid heightened geopolitical strain in the region, with analysts viewing it as a strategic maneuver to assert Iran’s territorial claims and bolster defense capabilities. Gulf nations, particularly the UAE, have repeatedly challenged Iran’s sovereignty over these islands, calling for diplomatic resolutions.
The latest military buildup is expected to draw international scrutiny, with global powers closely monitoring the developments. The situation remains volatile as regional actors respond to Iran’s growing military assertiveness.
