The Great Tomb, Little Tomb and Abu Musa islands are located in a strategically important part of the Persian Gulf, and their ownership is disputed by Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Iran's military exercises in these islands have a tendency to show power and influence, as Tehran considers the three mentioned islands as an integral part of its territory.
